The first electrified railway in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region opened Friday morning, linking Lhasa, the regional capital, with the city of Nyingchi as "Fuxing" bullet trains enter official operation on the plateau region.

With a length of 435 km and a designed speed of 160 km per hour, the new railway is a single-line electrified railway. There are currently nine stations in the cities of Lhasa, Shannan and Nyingchi that can handle passenger and freight transportation.

The newly opened Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway has provided southeast Tibet with access to railway services for the first time in history.
