The construction on the Sichuan-Tibet Railway will be accelerated, including the Lhasa-Nyingchi section of the railway, said Qizhala, chairman of the regional government.

 

A new terminal at the Lhasa Gonggar Airport will also be built to greatly slash the travel time between Tibet and other regions, according to Qizhala.

 

The Sichuan-Tibet Railway is the second railway into Tibet after the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The line will go through the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, one of the world's most geologically active areas.
