    1. Is Shanghai worth visiting?
    icon
    Yes, Shanghai is definitely worth visiting! It is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that offers a unique blend of modernity and tradition. With its iconic skyline, historical landmarks, world-class museums, and delicious cuisine, Shanghai has something to offer for every type of traveler.
     
    Some of the must-see attractions in Shanghai include the Bund, a waterfront area with magnificent colonial-era architecture; the Oriental Pearl Tower, a famous landmark with stunning city views; the Shanghai Museum, which houses a vast collection of Chinese art and artifacts; and Yuyuan Garden, a beautiful traditional Chinese garden.
     
    In addition to its attractions, Shanghai is also a shopper's paradise, with numerous shopping districts and markets offering both traditional and modern goods. The city's food scene is also renowned, with a diverse range of local and international cuisine available.

    2. How to get to Tibet from Shanghai?
    icon
    By Air: There are flights from Shanghai to Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. But please pay attention that the direct flight usually will make a brief stop (around 1.5 hour) via Chengdu or Xi’an and keep flying to Lhasa, about 7 hours and operates daily. 
     
    By Train: Another option is to take the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the highest railway in the world. The train journey from Shanghai to Lhasa takes around 46 hours and offers stunning views of the Tibetan plateau. However, it's important to note that the high altitude can cause altitude sickness, so it's recommended to acclimatize to the altitude by taking the train.
     
    Shanghai to Xining or Xian by Air and then Train to Tibet:
     
    If you want to save time,  we highly recommend traveling from Shanghai to Xining by flight first and then taking the Xining to Lhasa train via the famous Qinghai Tibet railway. As Xining is the starting point of the Qinghai Tibet railway, this approach allows you to enjoy the best part of the Tibet train journey in a much shorter time, which takes only 24 hours, with a comparison of a 46-hour journey from Beijing to Lhasa. Additionally, you'll have more train options to choose from in Xining, as there is only one train between Shanghai and Lhasa.

    If you want to save time and visit more cities, we recommend choosing Xian as connecting point.  Compared with Shanghai Lhasa train 47 hrs, the train from Xian which can short to 31hrs to get to Lhasa. Start from Shanghai, where you'll be able to witness the modernization of China firsthand. And then discover the wonders of ancient China- the Terracotta Army in Xian.

    9. Should I worry about altitude sickness when travelling in Lhasa (Tibet)?
    icon

    Due to its high altitude of over 3,650 meters, high altitude sickness can be a concern for travelers visiting Lhasa. However, don't worry - most travelers are able to adjust to the altitude and experience Lhasa without any issues.

    Here are some tips to help prevent and manage altitude sickness during your Lhasa tour:

    (1) Acclimatize slowly: It's important to acclimatize gradually to the high altitude by spending a few days in Lhasa before undertaking any strenuous activities. This will give your body time to adjust to the thinner air and lower oxygen levels.

    (2) Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and other fluids to avoid dehydration, which can worsen altitude sickness symptoms.

    (3) Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine: These substances can dehydrate you and make it more difficult for your body to acclimatize to the high altitude.

    (4) Eat light and healthy meals: Eat light, nutritious meals to help your body adjust to the high altitude and avoid heavy or greasy foods that can make you feel more sluggish.

    (5) Take medication: Medications such as acetazolamide (Diamox) can help prevent altitude sickness by increasing ventilation and reducing fluid buildup in the lungs. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before taking any medication for altitude sickness.

    (6) Rest: Take breaks and rest often during your Lhasa tour to give your body time to adjust and avoid overexertion.

Essential Weekend Retreat to the Goddess of Mercy's Island
I recently took the 2-day Putuoshan tour, and as a busy professional from Singapore, the efficiency of this short trip was exactly what I needed.

The logistics were handled perfectly—from the moment we were picked up to the ferry transfer and arrival on the island, everything was seamless. This allowed me to focus fully on the spiritual experience rather than worrying about connections.

In just two days, we were able to visit all the most important sites, including the colossal Nanhai Guanyin Statue and the three major temples (Puji, Fayu, and Huiji). The atmosphere of quiet devotion on the island is truly palpable. It felt like a complete spiritual recharge in a short amount of time.

If you are looking for a powerful and peaceful pilgrimage experience that respects your limited travel schedule, this 2-day tour is highly recommended. It’s an essential escape to the Island of Compassion.

The Perfect Spiritual Escape from Hangzhou’s Haste
As a wellness traveler from the UK, I was looking for a short, meaningful trip away from city noise. This 4-day Hangzhou-Putuoshan route was exactly what I needed.

The logistics, which can be tricky when traveling to an island like Putuoshan, were handled flawlessly. Our private transfer from Hangzhou to the pier and the quick ferry crossing felt incredibly seamless. It turned a potentially stressful multi-step journey into a true retreat.

The two days on Putuoshan were the highlight. Standing before the enormous Guanyin statue felt truly profound. I especially enjoyed the quiet climb to Huiji Temple on the summit and the meditative walk down the steps. It felt like shedding the worries of the city with every step.

The balance of the trip—starting with the classical canals and tea fields of Hangzhou and transitioning to the spiritual depth of the island—was perfectly paced. Highly recommend this for anyone seeking both scenic beauty and spiritual clarity.

A Spiritual Journey to Putuoshan — Truly Unforgettable
 I just returned from the “Putuoshan Tour from Shanghai” with Asia Odyssey Travel, and as a traveler from Malaysia, it exceeded all my expectations!
From the moment I arrived in Shanghai, the whole experience was exceptionally well-organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed right away. The drive to Putuoshan was smooth, and taking the ferry added a fun touch to the journey.
Some of the highlights for me:
Visiting Puji Temple: The peaceful atmosphere and the stunning architecture allowed me to truly reflect and connect with my spiritual side.
Walking along Bai Bu Beach: The serene beach was a perfect spot to unwind and appreciate nature's beauty.
The Goddess of Mercy Statue: Standing before the statue was awe-inspiring; it felt like I was part of something larger.
Hiking to Huiji Temple: The views from the top were breathtaking! It was worth every step of the climb.
Delicious Local Cuisine: I enjoyed trying fresh seafood dishes in the local restaurants, which were absolutely delightful.
