The Qinghai-Tibet railway is the highest altitude railway in the world. You'll witness thousands of miles of unrivalled landscapes. At present, there is no train originating from Xian to Lhasa, but there are several trains that make stops in Xian, such as the trains from Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing to Lhasa.
The trains from Xi’an to Lhasa depart every day respectively at 9:45 and 11:24, and will arrive in Lhasa at 16:19 and 19:30 on the second day, after running for about 30 to 32 hours.Therefore, it is less easy to get a train ticket to Lhasa in Xian. Besides, the ticket quota allocation for Xian would be extremely small. You would be able to get a ticket from Shanghai to Lhasa, but might not be able to get one from Xian to Lhasa.
