Officially starting operation on June 25 last year, the Lhasa-Nyingchi railway provided southeast Tibet 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.

As of May 31 this year, the train service had recorded 1.03 million passenger trips and transported 36,900 tons of cargo. (Xinhua/Chogo)
