Timetable and Ticket Prices
for Shanghai-Lhasa Train

The ticket prices for the high-speed passenger train from Shanghai to Tibet are 406 yuans (50 usd) for a hard seat, 845 yuans (100 usd) for a hard sleeper and 1,314 yuans (160 usd) for a soft sleeper, announced the Shanghai Railway Bureau yesterday.

The ticket can be booked up to 10 days in advance of the date of the journey. But it is said that due to the special requirement on physical fitness of the passengers, off-site booking won’t be available.

The train is expected to stop and pick up passengers at Wuxi (无锡Jiangsu Province), Nanjing (南京Jiangsu Province), Bengbu (蚌埠Anhui Provice), Zhengzhou (郑州Henan Province), Xian (西安Shaanxi Province), Lanzhou (兰州Dansu Province), Xining (西宁Qinghai Provice), Geermu (格尔木Qinghai Province), Naqu (那曲Tibet Autonomous Region) before reaching its destination Lhasa.

Shake Hand or Shake Leg? That Is the Question!

A Chinese young man yesterday ignored the warning signs and climbed over the fence to approach male panda named Gugu taking a nap in the open ground next to his home in Beijing Zoo. The man seemed a big fan of the fella in black and white cool costume, and tried to shake hands with him.

When the panda woke up with a start, he ignored the stretched hand but went to embrace the man’s leg with his mouth.

The man is lucky alive. At lease he does get a hand-not-but-leg shake, plus a permanent signature on his right thigh singed with teeth by his idol – that surely is more than he initially bargained for.
