China's Picturesque Tibet Autonomous Region: News & Images

I wonder what a post about China & Tibet doing in the Central & South Asia sub section.I can't believe the creator of this thread is dumb enough .Or maybe he is going by his reasoning that Xinjiang & Tibet are in Central Asia while PRC is located further east.

@waz @WAJsal @Aether or any other moderator doing his tour of duty

China is so vast that it's legitimately in Central Asia, East Asia, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and the West Pacific.

So what's wrong with beijingwalker posting this in here?

Moreever, the article is about Tibet , Nepal and India

During the 12th five-year period (2011-2015), 300 kilometers of high-level roads were built. The Lhasa-Shigatse Railway has been put into use. A total of 63 new airlines have been opened, linking 40 cities.

By 2020, the total mileage of Tibet’s highways will reach 110,000 kilometers and bridges in poor conditions will be reinforced.

Sichuan-Tibet railway to be completed in 2025

Nov. 8, 2016 -- The whole project will cost about 216 billion yuan, while the train will travel at 200 km/h

The most difficult part of the Sichuan-Tibet railway, the Kangding-Nyingchi section, will begin construction in 2018, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.

As the second railway connecting Tibet with the rest of the country, the project is expected to be completed in 2025, five years earlier than planned.

The 1,838-km track starts in Chengdu, Sichuan province, the lowlands of China's southwestern region, and will pass through Sichuan province's Ya'an and Kangding, and Tibet's Nyingchi and Lhasa.

The new line will reduce the travel time from Chengdu to Lhasa to about 13 hours. It takes up to three days to drive from Chengdu to Lhasa. The other railway connecting Tibet, the Qinghai-Tibet railway, takes 21 hours from Qinghai to Lhasa.

Construction of the east and west sections began in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

The whole project will cost about 216 billion yuan ($32 billion). The highest speed the train will reach will be 200 km/h.

Sun Yongfu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the new line will travel through the most complicated geographical area in the world.

"It will cross many fault zones," Sun said, adding that geological difficulties, including landslides, earthquakes and avalanches, will be overcome in the project.

Perched at more than 3,000 meters above sea level, and with more than 74 percent of its length running on bridges or in tunnels, the railway will meander through the mountains, the highest of which is over 7,000 meters.

It will also cross the Minjiang, Jinshajiang and Yarlung Zangbo rivers, said Lin Shijin, a senior civil engineer at China Railway Corp.

The southeast is the most populous region in Tibet, and the west of Sichuan is the least developed region of the province. The two regions are filled with breathtaking natural views and fascinating ethnic cultures.

"The railway will effectively boost tourism, bring a new Shangri-La to the world and tangible revenue to local people," said He Ping, a tourism agency manager in Chengdu.

China's Tibet less remote as world's highest road tunnel opens
(Xinhua) 16:23, November 10, 2016




Builders on Thursday finished work on the world's highest road tunnel on the Sichuan-Tibet highway.The tunnel passes through the main peak of Chola Mountain which is 6,168 m above sea level, shortening the time from Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, to Nagqu in Tibet by two hours, and avoiding the most dangerous section on the highway.[Photo: people.cn]

Builders on Thursday finished work on the world's highest road tunnel on the Sichuan-Tibet highway.

The tunnel passes through the main peak of Chola Mountain which is 6,168 m above sea level, shortening the time from Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, to Nagqu in Tibet by two hours, and avoiding the most dangerous section on the highway.

The tunnel, with two lanes in each direction, has been under construction since 2012. It will open to traffic in 2017.

The current 40-km precipitous mountain highway in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Garze takes over two hours to traverse, with dangers from avalanches and rockfalls not to mention the extreme cold and low oxygen level.

Built at a cost of 1.15 billion yuan (170 million U.S. dollars), the 7-km tunnel only takes ten minutes to go through.

The highway will be able to accommodate 4,000 to 5,000 vehicles a day, as compared with around 1,500 before.

"It has been the most difficult tunnel that China Railway ever built," said Yao Zhijun, chief engineer of the project.

Built in 1951, Sichuan-Tibet Highway was China's first highway in Tibet. There are now two more major highways -- the Qinghai-Tibet highway and Xinjiang-Tibet highway.

You guys must admit that brainwashing people is one thing the West is really good at.

Indians are fed with Western propaganda day in and day out.

You can't really blame the Indians for being what they are.
I don't blame Indias for being what they are. I pity those being brainwashed. After all, their own shoulders hold their own brains. Nobody can be really brainwashed unless he is willing.

The lives of the serfs changed for better.

They are free from bondage.

Their stomachs are full and their children have a bright future ahead of them just as the rest of the Chinese children.

How can serfdom be called culture?

If one puts all the pieces together a picture emerges that our friend in the south is upto no good.

Peace and development is the right course for China.

Let us not be distracted by ill wishers and hateful minds.

The Dragon needs to be cautious, but must show its wrath when the trouble makers keep doing stupid things.

Well, Tibetan Plateau is a gigantic strategic advantage point in the region. It overlooks core parts of India and some rather high population area of China. Aircrafts, artilleries and missiles garrison in Tibet has an overwhelming first strike advantage to whomever doesn't hold it. Hence the reason why India has been trying to expand into the region for the past 60 years.

Soon all the exiled Tibetan in India wish they be back in China with a much better life compare to the living standard of the Indian.

That's a different issue entirely. The "exiled" Tibetans are part of the old ruling theocracy class in the region. Basically, thinking about feudal nobles in middle age, mix in religious fanaticism and a large jug of power hungry. Power is like a drug to these people and they'd do anything to get it back.
