Tibet's "automobile village" is looking forward to the train

"Like many farmers and herdsmen along the line, villagers in Baji Village, the suburb of Linzhi, are looking forward to the early opening of the Lalin section of the Sichuan Tibet Railway day and night!" On May 27, Wang Dui, deputy secretary of the CPC Linzhi Municipal Committee and mayor of Tibet Autonomous Region, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said.

Baji Village on the Bank of the Nyang river has less than 100 villagers, but it is a "special village". In 1998 and 2011, comrade Xi Jinping visited twice to discuss with the cadres and the masses of Baji Village about how to become rich.

In recent years, Baji Village has made great efforts to develop the collective economy, set up an automobile transportation team, seized the opportunity of the construction of Linzhi urban area to run freight and make building materials, and became a well-known "automobile village" by relying on automobile transportation. At the end of 2016, all the poor villagers in the village were lifted out of poverty. Now, every family in Baji Village lives in Tibetan style small Western-style buildings and can get dividends every year.

The Lalin section of Sichuan Tibet railway, which is planned to open in 2021, will "add another fire" to the red days in Baji Village. With a total length of 435 kilometers and a design speed of 160 kilometers per hour, the Lalin section is the first electrified railway in Tibet. Up to now, more than 70% of the whole project has been completed and 47 tunnels with a total length of 216.5 km have been completed. "The party's policy is" sub ancient capital "! I hope the train will arrive at our door as soon as possible! " Said Gesang Wangjiu, a villager in Baji Village.

After the construction of Lalin section of Sichuan Tibet railway started in December 2014, many villagers in Baji Village joined the "supporting railway" army with transport vehicles and construction machinery, and their pockets were more and more bulging. During this time, the "automobile village" began to adjust the industrial layout, and the construction of Baji logistics industrial park covering an area of more than 400 mu was accelerated. Baji Village is committed to the development of rural tourism. Linzhi station, which is not far away from the village, will bring more tourists when it is opened to traffic.

Not only Baji Village, but also Linzhi city is ready to build a characteristic tourism and cultural industry with the help of railway, continue to hold peach blossom tourism and Cultural Festival, Yarlung Zangbo ecological and cultural tourism festival, and ecological tourism season "two festivals and one season" activities, create an international ecotourism area and a national tourism demonstration area, and attract more people to take the train to Linzhi.

"In 2006, Qinghai Tibet railway, the highest altitude and longest line in the world, was opened to Lhasa, ending the history of no railway in Tibet; in 2014, the extension line of Qinghai Tibet railway, Lhasa Japan Railway, was opened and operated, bringing a road to prosperity and happiness to my hometown." WangDui, a native of Xigaze, witnessed the great changes of Xigaze transportation after the democratic reform in Tibet. The real sweetness made him more firmly support the railway construction. Party committees and governments at all levels in Linzhi city regard supporting and cooperating with railway construction as an important political task and a major livelihood project, establish a leading group for railway construction coordination, set up a special working class, and coordinate and solve the construction front-line problems in a timely manner.

On the one hand, the construction of the Lalin section of the Sichuan Tibet railway is in full swing; on the other hand, the preparatory work for the commencement of the ya'an-linzhi section of the Sichuan Tibet railway is basically ready; the new picture of the development of Linzhi in the south of the Yangtze River in Tibet is slowly unfolding, and the days of the Tibetan compatriots are getting sweeter
