Lalin railway brings new opportunities for regional economic development

On January 1, workers of Xi'an electrification company of China Railway Electrification Bureau Group carried out electrification construction on Mingze bridge of Yarlung Zangbo River in Shannan City, Tibet. At present, the electrification construction of Lalin Railway (Lhasa Linzhi) has been carried out in an all-round way. As of January 3, 76% of the overhead contact line towers of the whole line of Lalin railway have been erected. (January 6, Xinhuanet)

it is understood that the Lalin railway, located in the southeast of Tibet Autonomous Region, is an important part of China's railway to Tibet. It starts from Lhasa railway station (passing through Lhasa South Station) and goes down the Lhasa River, passes through Gongga, zha'an, Naidong (Zedang Town, Shannan city), SANGRI, Gacha, Lang county and Milin, and finally arrives at Linzhi. The total length of the main line is 403.144 km. It is designed as a national class I single track electrified fast railway with a running speed of 160 km / h. It is expected that the whole line will be opened to traffic in 2021. The completion and opening of

will play an important role in promoting the economic development along the line, improving people's livelihood and promoting the interconnection within and outside the region. A 6031 a 6031 Lalin railway is a "happy line" convenient for people to travel. As we all know, people's happy life is inseparable from convenient transportation. As the main means of transportation for people to travel, in recent years, with the continuous acceleration and improvement of the construction pace, the railway has brought great convenience to people's travel. However, due to the complex geology, steep mountains and narrow valley space, the construction and development of the railway are affected in the southeast of Tibet. The travel of the people along the railway is mainly by highway, supplemented by aviation. After the opening of Lalin railway, it not only improved the traffic conditions along the line, ended the history of no trains in Southeast Tibet, but also provided new convenience for people along the line. The

Lalin railway is an "economic line" that helps the regional development. The nine counties and cities where the railway passes through are rich in mineral resources. However, due to the backward transportation infrastructure, these mineral resources are not developed on a large scale, which restricts the economic development. As an important section of the external transportation channel of Tibet Autonomous Region, the construction of Lalin railway has provided strong transportation capacity support for the economic and social development of the areas along the line. After the opening of the Lalin railway, the eastern end of the railway will be connected with the Sichuan Tibet railway, Yunnan Tibet railway and Gansu Tibet Railway under planning and construction, which will lead to the southwest and the east central region, the north and west of the existing Qinghai Tibet railway and the planned new Tibet railway, and to the north, Xinjiang and other regions, which will create favorable conditions for promoting the comprehensive development and utilization of regional mineral resources and realizing the rational allocation of resources. In addition, there are abundant tourism resources along the Lhasa Linzhi line, but the restriction of traffic conditions fails to give full play to the overall resource advantages. After the opening of the Lhasa Linzhi railway, it will certainly drive the rapid development of Tourism along the line and cultivate new economic growth points for the areas along the line. It can be seen from

that the construction of Lalin railway not only improves and optimizes the layout and planning of Tibet railway network, but also injects new vitality into the convenient travel and rapid economic and social development of people along the railway. Let's look forward to the completion and opening of the Lalin railway as soon as possible, bringing more new opportunities and opportunities for economic construction and people's happy life along the line.
