Construction condition on this region is incredibly hard. Workers have to build rails in very remote and cold
areas where transportation is extremely difficult, not to mention the high altitude sickness are most likely to
occur. Most alarmingly, geological structure is surprisingly complicated in the entire sections, landslides,
collapses, debris flows, flood damage, icing disaster, earthquakes and mollisols are the main difficulties need
to be overcome. In addition, investment in water protection is more than 1,200 million yuan till now.
Natural scenary in Nyingchi Tibet is quite charming. Praised as “Switzerland in Tibet”, there are waterfalls in
Metok, peach blossom in Bomi, Mt. Namjagbarwa, forests in Lunang, etc.

Future Outlook
As the branch line of Qinghai Tibet Railway and important joint parts of Sichuan Tibet Railway, Yunnan Tibet
Railway and Gansu Tibet Railway, this line is planned to be the first railway reaching Nyingchi and will end
history of no railway available in southeast Tibet.
The joint point between Lhasa Shigatse Railway and Lhasa Nyingchi Railway will offer more exchange trains
for tourists in Tibet. Besides, the future operation of this line is considered to promote the Tibetan economy and
consolidate border defense in southwest China.
According to the early plan, construction duration of this line was thought to be seven years, but it be
shortened by one year beyond expectation. Eventually, a Y-type will stretch into all directions in Tibet after the
completion of Lhasa Nyingchi Train, Lhasa Shigatse Train and Lhasa Yatung Train.
