A total of 960 kilometers of railway track above 4,000 meters in elevation; 550 kilometers laid across continuous permafrost; passing through high-altitude regions where oxygen levels are just 50 percent of those on the plains...Each of these figures represents a world-class engineering challenge.
The Qinghai–Xizang Railway took on all of these challenges at once.
For the past twenty years, this "Heavenly Road" has transformed once-impassable terrain into vital transport corridors. It has witnessed historic advances in economic and social development along its route, as Xizang has evolved from a geographic frontier into a new gateway for opening-up and regional connectivity, ultimately improving the lives of local people.
Forged in one of the world's harshest environments, this miracle-making railway continues to press ahead.
