is a convenient passage connecting the four northwest provinces. Dunhuang railway connects the two main railway lines of Qinghai Tibet railway and Lanxin railway, and connects with Lanqing railway, Lanxin railway and Qinghai Tibet railway to form the first circular railway network in Northwest China, linking the four provinces and regions of Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai and Tibet, completely changing the history of railway transportation detour between Xinjiang, Tibet and even Central Asian countries, making the Eurasian Continental Bridge channel, lankun railway channel and Beijing Tibet railway Road and channel are organically combined to enhance the mobility flexibility of the road network in Northwest China and give full play to the efficiency of existing channels. The transportation distance between Xinjiang and Tibet will be shortened by 1100 kilometers, saving nearly 10 hours, and the travel conditions of the people along the line will be greatly improved.
