From Shanghai to Lhasa

Shanghai is a favorite gateway of travelers coming from Europe, North and South America, Australia, and Southeast Asia, and from any other part of the world. It is a major hub for international flights from the most important cities around the world and from the major domestic cities of China. Moreover, Shanghai is a tourist destination on its own. So, if you are planning a trip from Shanghai to Lhasa, you can also allot one or two days for touring this awesome city of Shanghai.

Although Shanghai is 2,906 kilometers away from Tibet, you can reach Tibet from Shanghai within 7 to 9 hours of air travel. At present, several direct flights operate between Shanghai and Lhasa every day operated by China Eastern Airlines and Tibet Airlines. If you can’t buy the direct flight to Lhasa from Shanghai, you can fly to Chengdu, Chongqing, Kunming or Xián first and then transfer to another flight to Lhasa.
