🚄 They say that on the plateau, the scarcest thing is oxygen, but the most precious is spirit. This saying captures the soul of the #Qinghai-#Xizang #Railway. Two decades ago, a locomotive pierced through the thin air of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, shattering the centuries-old myth that "the railway would never reach #Lhasa." Since its opening on July 1, 2006, the 1,956-kilometer Qinghai-Xizang #Railway has done far more than move people and goods – it has rewritten the destiny of the Roof of the World. Over the past 20 years, the #world's highest and longest plateau railway has safely transported 104 million passengers and hauled 824 million tonnes of cargo. What started as a single lifeline has now evolved into a high-altitude rail network spanning over 4,000 kilometers, connecting remote villages to the heart of the nation. With improved railway services, new types of cargo – including cold-chain fresh products, e-commerce parcels, and manufactured goods – have enriched supplies to the plateau region. This has seamlessly integrated Xizang into the national market system, significantly lowering logistics costs for both daily necessities and industrial materials. #ChinaVisionary #whyChina
