Z164 train

        Z164 train starts from Shanghai and ends at Lhasa station in Tibet. The journey lasts 47 hours. It passes through Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other places. It climbs all the way from only a few meters above sea level to 5100 meters when crossing Tanggula Mountain. This paper will describe what we saw and thought along the time axis from the first perspective.

        At 19:02, I successfully arrived at Metro Line 8. It must be time. My anxiety gradually turned to relaxation. I was just a little nervous in the face of the unknown during the journey.

        At 20:00, after getting on the bus and arranging my luggage, I excitedly took out snacks to share with you. As soon as the uncle and sister next to me heard that I was going to Lhasa, they immediately became interested and enthusiastically reminded me of various precautions for entering Tibet. It is said that passing Tanggula Mountain in the morning the day after tomorrow will be the most serious reaction of the mountain. You must not make big moves and speak loudly. "NAH! I must not speak at the same volume as I do now!" the uncle said and demonstrated himself; The elder sister also added: "everything should be slow, even tie your shoelaces. Squat down and tie them slowly." the more they said, my heart became more and more bottomless, my heart began to accelerate, and my stomach became more hungry. Then I remembered that I hadn't eaten dinner yet! I ate snacks to fill my stomach first. When the dining car came, I ordered a boxed lunch and ate it cleanly. After all, everything has just begun. My physical state should be adjusted.

        At 21:20, the train arrived in Wuxi. Although there were not many people in the carriage, it was filled with the sound of various mobile phones, which was also lively. On wechat, my friend he told me all kinds of things, including not taking a bath ten days before departure, taking vitamin C tablets and glucose, and slowing down 0.5 times after arriving in Tibet. The thought that I had just taken a bath today and didn't bring vitamin C tablets and glucose made my heart beat. I really don't know how to slow down at that time. As the number of people in the carriage gradually increased, it was slowly mixed with foot odor. The enthusiastic uncle next door had fallen asleep and snored gently. The elder sister was playing mobile games leisurely. I sat on the porch chair beside the socket to charge my mobile phone.

        At 22:20, the train had turned off the lights and the conductor drew the curtains in the corridor. I lifted the curtain and saw that it was dark outside the window, and a little light flashed occasionally. Everyone lay down and a few people talked through the corridor. I climbed into bed and didn't listen to what they said. The occasional sense of weightlessness on the train made me uncomfortable. After a while, the people next to me coughed a few times, snored more and more, and my mood gradually calmed down, quietly waiting for sleep to come.

        At 02:07, I was half asleep and half awake. When the train arrived in Xuzhou, two women came up. The tall man climbed to the upper bunk and felt it was too narrow. They exchanged the middle bunk with the short man. They carried many pieces of luggage and each action had exaggerated sound effects. They didn't seem to realize that it was more than two o'clock in the middle of the night. Although I was awakened, I was still calm and didn't want to swear. After getting up and going to the toilet, I found that my uncle had got off the bus, the berth was changed to a young man, and the elder sister on the side was still awake. I don't know if she was still busy with the game.

        At 07:20, the train broadcast kept on. When I was woken up, most people in the carriage didn't wake up. After some struggle, I decided to have dinner in the dining car and check on the Internet. It turns out that the alpine reaction usually appears after Xining, that is, it starts at 9 p.m.

        At 14:06, after waiting for a long time, I finally got to a charging socket. At this time, a railway personnel came to sell me anti hyperreflexia drugs. He said all kinds of hyperreflexia symptoms, which made me tangle again: do I need to buy some drugs? But there are so many people on the train. They don't need them. Do I really need them?

        At 14:26, after passing Baoji, the scenery along the way became more and more magnificent, with mountains and lakes, green mountains and clear water. I was also a little excited. After all, it was my original intention to enjoy the scenery along the way. With the gradual appearance of the peaks on both sides of Weian, the tunnel section is more and more frequent and the length is longer and longer. Each time passing through the tunnel, the intracranial pressure increases and a slight tinnitus begins to appear. I could feel the altitude rising, the people in the corridor lying down slowly, and even snoring came from the train.

                At 15:20, we arrived at Tianshui, and the mobile phone finally had a signal. The terrain outside the window slowed down slightly, most of the nearby mountains were bare, and the river was very muddy, like mud. At this time, most of the people on the bus are going to Lhasa. We gather together in twos and threes to talk about various precautions. Experienced people talk about their story of entering Tibet; Inexperienced people lean forward and listen carefully. The most discussed is how to avoid and deal with mountain reactions.

        At 17:33, mimihe had a short sleep. He vaguely heard someone mention the scenic spots in Tibet. Curiously, he stretched out his head and found that it was the train salesperson selling commemorative tickets. The train has arrived in Dingxi, Gansu Province. The mountains outside the window are not so steep. There are only bare earth bags. At this time, the altitude has slowly risen to 1800 meters and the mood is stable.

        At 18:00, a message came from Da Zhuang in the lower berth next door. There was a socket beside car 14. There was no one at present. I immediately went with him to charge my mobile phone and power bank. It was learned from the exchange that Dazhuang was originally a self driving tour leader of the Qinghai Tibet line. This time, they divided into two routes, met in Lhasa, and then drove around the line. I took the opportunity to consult about Gao fan. Dazhuang played down the matter, said that the problem was not big, and tried to comfort me. During the conversation, the train arrived in Lanzhou, stopped for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.

        At 22:08, the train arrived in Xining late and needed to get off and transfer to the oxygen train. Everyone had already prepared their luggage and was excited. A big sister blushed and held her head and said that she had developed high reaction symptoms, but at present, the altitude is only 2200 meters, which actually did not meet the high reaction conditions. I asked her how she would feel if she changed the oxygen supply vehicle and passed near Tanggula Mountain? Instead, she felt no problem getting on the oxygen truck. I was relieved to hear her say that. I thought she could do anything like this. I must have no problem myself. When I arrived at the station to transfer, I took the time to clean the window of the carriage. After a while, the train started slowly, and Han Hong's Qinghai Tibet Plateau was put on the train, which gave rise to longing and excitement. However, it was late at night. Only a few lights flashed outside the window, and my mood gradually calmed down. A train sister wearing a mask came to sign a notice on plateau matters with us and announced the official start of the trip to Tibet!

        At 23:14, snoring gradually sounded in the car. From my constant tinnitus reaction and repeatedly lost mobile phone signals, it can be seen that the train is passing through the tunnel section.

        At 08:30, I woke up in a daze and looked out of the window. A large cloud was like ten thousand horses galloping, and the winding river was like a fairy floating yarn. For a time, I was sleepless and busy shooting videos back and forth. At this time, the altitude was 4420 meters. I suddenly realized that I was already on the plateau, and the high anti that I had been worried about did not appear. I couldn't help getting more excited. I took out my camera to take pictures of blue sky, white clouds and wilderness beaches, stretch as far as eye can see. Suddenly someone shouted, "ah! Tibetan bell sheep!" "it's not Tibetan bell sheep, it's Tibetan wild donkey!" Dazhuang was obviously experienced. I took the opportunity to take a picture and zoom in. With a round head and short stature, it looks more stupid and cute than a domestic donkey! I was very excited to see wild animals in the endless wild for the first time. "Tibetan bell sheep!" there was another surprise. In my sight, several furry animals were pacing on the grass, looking like silly roe deer. I seized the opportunity and took some pictures. Later, I found out that it was Tibetan gazelle. There were many surprises along the way. Yaks, yellow meadows, winding glaciers, 109 day road, blue sky and white clouds, snow mountains... Hit my eyes one after another. I was like a child and was so excited. The train passed through Golmud. On the endless wilderness, I suddenly saw a road guard looking at the train and saluting. Although it disappeared in sight in a short moment, my eyes suddenly went into the sand

                At 11:20, I sat on the edge of the lower berth and kept taking pictures. I saw the towering snow mountain slowly emerging in the distance. I was very excited. Suddenly I felt a burst of chest tightness, shortness of breath, panic and brain swelling, so I had to sit on the bed. After a while, Da Zhuang came back from dinner and complained that the fried dishes in the dining car were too salty. We didn't know until we asked. It turned out that in the panic just now, the train had crossed Tanggula Mountain. Yes, the Tanggula Mountain, which has been lingering in my mind since I got on the bus and makes me worried and afraid, has passed! I immediately came to the spirit. I didn't feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. When I was excited, I went to the dining car for dinner and ordered fried vegetables. I also felt very salty.

        At 18:30, the train stopped and the song "go home" began to be played on the radio. I began to pack my bags. I couldn't restrain my excitement. At this time, it was not dark (the time difference in Lhasa was about 2 hours). I looked left and right excitedly and repeatedly confirmed that I had indeed come to Tibet and Lhasa! On the day of my 27th Birthday, I took a 47 hour train, experienced the high opposition that made me afraid of the whole road, climbed over Tanggula Mountain with an altitude of 5100 meters, appreciated the great rivers and mountains of the motherland along the way, and came to this snowy plateau!
