青藏铁路是世界上最高最长的高原铁路,全长1,956公里,其中有960公里在海拔4,000多米之上,是连接西藏和中国其他地区的第一条铁路。由于铁路穿越世界上最脆弱的生态系统,在建设期间和建成后都采取了生态保护措施,以确保其成为一条“绿色铁路”。青藏铁路大大缩短了去往西藏的旅行时间。更重要的是,它极大地促进了西藏的经济发展,改善了当地居民的生活。铁路开通后,愈来愈多的人选择乘火车前往西藏,这样还有机会欣赏沿线的美景。
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the highest and longest plateau railway in the world, with a total length of 1, 956 kilometers, of which 960 kilometers are over 4,000 meters above the sea level. It is the first railway connecting Tibet with the rest of China. As the railway travels through the most fragile ecosystem in the world, ecological protection measures have been taken during and after the construction to ensure that it becomes a “green railway “. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has greatly shortened the travel time to Tibet. More importantly, it has greatly promoted the economic development of Tibet and improved the life of local residents. Since the opening of the railway, more and more people have chosen to travel to Tibet by train so that they will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the route.
