Between Golmud and Lhasa, there will be a specially trained professional doctor on board. All passengers must sign a health declaration form before traveling.

Tourists need to sign a relevant agreement with the company.
2. At present, the Tangula rail tour package is not sold through travel agencies, but only through the company’s sales phones and website.
