Editor's Note:
The Fuxing bullet train shuttles between Lhasa and Nyingchi in Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region in late March 2023. In the past 20 months, the Lhasa-Nyingchi railway provided southeast Xizang with access to railway services for the first time in history. With a designed speed of 160 km per hour, the 435-km railway marks the launch of the country’s first electrified railroad operating in the plateau region. (Photos: Shan Jie/GT)
