In 2006, Spanish-Argentinian award-winning travel photographer Angel Lopez-Soto was a privileged witness of the inauguration of the Beijing-Lhasa railway. One month after the official inauguration, he was in the group of foreign journalists and photographers invited to travel from Beijing to Lhasa in a special journey organized by the British company GW Travel.
During five days and through 1,956 km, he documented the biggest challenge in recent Chinese engineering from inside the train, a luxury convoy equipped with an oxygen system like the one used in airplanes.
His biggest impression of the trip was the contrasts he was able to witness in Tibet: the harsh, yet beautiful frozen landscapes; people who live isolated from the world and yet are warm and welcoming.
