Nĭ hăo,

My son, my wife (a Chinese citizen), and I would like to take the train from Chengdu to Lhasa on, or around, Saturday, February 27, 2010. Is there a time schedule that is available? How much will it cost? How long will it take? (I read somewhere that it is a 48 hour trip.) Do you have information on obtaining a TAR permit? Will my son and I need a multiple entry permit in order to return to China? (We would like to fly from Lhasa to Xian on, or around Tuesday, March 3.)

Any information you provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Jeff
