Features: The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has closely connected Tibet with the rest of China. The construction and operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway hold a milestone significance in the social development history of Tibet. It plays a crucial role in improving the lives of people of all ethnic groups in Tibet, enhancing the level of Tibet's opening-up, strengthening exchanges, cooperation, and unity among ethnic groups, and achieving common prosperity and development. It will also inevitably have a profound historical impact. It serves as the economic, unifying, ecological, and happy lifeline for the people of all ethnic groups in Tibet, and acts as a strong shield for consolidating China's southwestern border defense.
To help travelers better understand, appreciate, and protect Tibet, the Popularization Department of the China Association for Science and Technology, the Tibet Autonomous Region Association for Science and Technology, the China Railway Society, and the Science Popularization Publishing House jointly organized experts to compile this concise, accessible, and illustrated booklet titled Discovering Tibet. It is hoped that the publication of this book will not only provide readers with knowledge about Tibet but also inspire their awareness of environmental protection.
When you admire the Tibetan antelope, wild yaks, and Tibetan wild donkeys running across the Qiangtang Grassland, or enjoy the scenic beauty and plateau scenery, please remember to cherish every blade of grass and tree in Tibet. Take practical actions to protect the clear waters and blue skies of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!
