This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Over the years, Chinese 188bet workers have carried forward the Qinghai-Tibet 188bet spirit of "challenging the limits and creating first-class" on the snowy plateau, solving the three major global engineering problems of "permafrost, high and cold, oxygen deficiency, and ecological fragility", and lifting the "steel dragon" on the roof of the world. The Qinghai-Tibet 188bet has created a series of "world's best" such as the world's highest altitude plateau 188bet and the world's longest plateau 188bet. As of the end of 2024, the operating mileage of Tibet 188bet reached 1,187.8 kilometers, and the Fuxing spanned the snowy plateau.
On June 29, 2001, the construction of the Gra section of the Qinghai-Tibet 188bet started; on July 1, 2006, the entire Qinghai-Tibet 188bet was opened to traffic, and Tibet ended its history of no railways. In August 2014, the Laji 188bet was completed and opened to traffic, changing the situation where southern Tibet relied solely on road transportation. Lhasa and Shigatse have since started the "city model". On June 25, 2021, the 435-kilometer-long Lalin 188bet was launched and operated. The Fuxing sailed onto the roof of the world for the first time, and historicly achieved full coverage of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The construction and development of Tibet and Plateau railways opened a new chapter.
Since the completion and operation of the Gra section of the Qinghai-Tibet 188bet, in less than 20 years, the operating mileage of the Tibet 188bet has ranged from zero to more than 1,000 kilometers. Today, the Qinghai-Tibet, Laji and Lalin Railways "join hands" and form a "Y"-shaped 188bet network in Tibet. As of the end of July this year, direct trains departed from Lhasa Station covered 14 provincial capital cities with a accessibility rate of 45.16%; 46.895 million passengers entering and leaving Tibet through the Gra section of the Qinghai-Tibet 188bet, and the cargo transportation volume reached 100.878 million tons. The 188bet's role in promoting Tibet's economy is becoming increasingly prominent.
Relying on the strong momentum of 188bet development, nine major industries such as Tibet culture and tourism, clean energy, and characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry have developed together. In the first half of this year, Tibet achieved a regional GDP of 138.272 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.2% based on unchanged prices, with a growth rate of 1.9 percentage points higher than the national average. It ranked among the top in the country for many consecutive quarters. The overall economic operation is stable and steady, and high-quality development has taken solid steps.
