Kekexili and Mountain Fenghuo

After Kunlun Mountains, it is Kekexili. Kekexili is the land of Tibentan Antelope. The train is also starting running on the elevation of 13,000 feet from Kekexili.

This is for protecting the rail road base.

 

This is the Fenghuo Mountain Tunnel, which is a tunnel at the highest elevation in the world. The environment here is tough. The oxygen of air is only 50% compared to the regular one.

It is almost 16,000 feet altitude when the train ran here.
