Hi, both of train and flight is feasible from Xi'am to Lhasa. Since you will have a long holiday, I think you may be intersted in experiencing the Qianghai-Tibet Raulway. Along the railway from Xi'an to Lhasa, you will fall in love the beautiful scenery.

I think 3~5 days is enough for travling Xi'an. You should explore Tibet more~ good luck!
