The Green "Sky Road" to Happiness: Economic Daily

Published:2024-12-02

     The Qinghai-Xizang Railway starts in Xining City, Qinghai Province, and ends in Lhasa City, Xizang autonomous region, with a total length of 1,956 kilometers. It is known as the "Sky Road" and is one of the four major engineering projects of the new century in China. On July 1, 2006, the entire Qinghai-Xizang Railway opened for operation, ending the history of Xizang being without a railway.

  Since its opening, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway has tightly connected Xizang's market with the unified national market, reducing the cost of production and living materials in Xizang, allowing the vast farming and pastoral population on the plateau to benefit directly. A large number of unique plateau products have been continuously exported through the Qinghai-Xizang Railway. At the same time, building materials and daily necessities have been delivered to Xizang, not only meeting the needs of Xizang's social and economic development but also enriching the material needs of the local people.
