The song of happiness spreads all over the world, our home | Lalin Railway: Fuxing Express Sails onto the "Roof of the World" Masses | Entrepreneurship | Roof of the World
With a total length of 435 kilometers, Lalin Railway is the first electrified railway in Xizang. After being put into operation on June 25, 2021, Fuxing will be on the "roof of the world" for the first time, opening a new chapter in the construction and development of Xizang and plateau railways.
As the saying goes, "mountains and clouds soar and rivers cross the sky", the traffic inconvenience once became a bottleneck restricting Xizang's economic and social development. The opening and operation of the Lalin Railway has put an end to the history of railway connectivity in southeastern Tibet. "The travel time from Lhasa to Linzhi has been greatly reduced, and the freight capacity has been greatly improved. It has facilitated people's travel, promoted employment and entrepreneurship, strengthened ethnic unity, and become a beautiful scenery on the snowy plateau." Zhu Lianxiang, the station director of Linzhi Railway Station, introduced. The opened Lalin railway section covers an area of 226300 square kilometers and directly benefits a population of 1.31 million.

The Lalin Railway is an important component of the Sichuan Tibet Railway. As the second "heavenly road" on the snowy plateau, its opening and operation have given wings to the vigorous development of the southeastern region of Tibet, injecting strong vitality into the comprehensive social and economic development of regions such as Lhasa, Shannan, and Linzhi.
The reporter learned that as of July 19th this year, the Lalin Railway has transported more than 1.9218 million passengers and 419100 tons of goods. The Lalin Railway has brought cities in southeastern Tibet closer together and profoundly changed the work and life of local people.
