Railways that appear to climb into the sky have transformed the fate of a seemingly inaccessible area of the country. When the Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway went into operation, the southeastern part of Tibet eventually bid farewell to the bygone days when no railway was available in the region.

Constructed on layers upon layers of frozen soil, these railways stretch across undulating mountain ridges and through wide expanses of the snow-covered plateau, marking a miraculous new railway-building feat conquered with the industrious efforts of Chinese workers.
