As soon as the bagpipes sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold
It has been open for three years
This is a phrase that describes the influence of railways
It is being confirmed along the Lalin Railway
On June 25, 2021, on the occasion of the celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 70th anniversary of the peaceful liberation of Tibet, the Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway, Tibet's first electrified railway, was put into operation.
After the opening of the Lalin Railway, the Mercedes-Benz Fuxing EMU train will connect the beautiful scenery along the way, with magnificent canyons, majestic palaces, and blooming peach blossoms...... More and more scenic spots have stepped out of the dilemma of "hiding in the depths of the boudoir and people don't know" and have become new "Internet celebrity" check-in places.
The convenience and speed of railway transportation have given rise to a tourism boom. "Four years ago, I drove my family from Shigatse to Nyingchi to play, and it took more than ten hours on the road alone, which was very tiring. Nowadays, it only takes more than 7 hours to take the bullet train, which is convenient and time-saving. At noon on June 12, the family of tourists Tsering Deji, who arrived at Nyingchi Station, were full of praise for the Lalin Railway.
At the same time, there are long queues of tourists waiting to enter the Potala Palace. "In recent months, the number of tourists received by our travel agency has increased significantly, and in addition to playing in Lhasa, most tourists will also choose to take the bullet train to Nyingchi, which is very convenient." The staff of Tibet Tibetan Travel Service Co., Ltd. introduced the changes in the tourism market.
In the middle of summer, the "snowy Jiangnan" Nyingchi is particularly verdant, and the major hotels are "hard to find", and the local people have eaten tourist meals.
Laba Tsering, who smelled business opportunities in Nyingchi, bought a van and ran transportation between the railway station and the city of Nyingchi every day, "When the tourist season arrives, there are obviously more tourists, and I can earn more than 300 yuan a day."
The villagers of Gala Village, Bayi District, Nyingchi City, took advantage of the brand advantage of "the place where the peach blossoms bloom" to develop the "Peach Blossom Festival" tourism economy. "After the opening of the Lalin Railway, more and more tourists came here." Bian Ba, secretary of the party branch of Gala Village, introduced.
"The scenery here lives up to its name!" Standing on the paddle board and walking through the rippling blue water, tourists can't help but sigh. Nyingchi Basongcuo Scenic Area has always been a niche tourist destination, and now, there is an endless stream of tourists who come to visit. Data shows that during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays in 2023, the number of tourists going to the Nyingchi Basongcuo Scenic Area has more than doubled compared with the same period in previous years.
Guided by the market, China Railway Qinghai-Tibet Group Co., Ltd. has worked closely with major travel agencies in Tibet to carefully design tourism routes, and launched a series of high-quality tourism special trains such as "Tianlu Gesang Flower - Pride of the Snow Region" and "Tianlu Gesang Flower - Drunken Beauty Linzhi", which fully meet the high-quality tourism life needs of group passengers and effectively realize the drainage online.
In the first quarter of this year, Tibet received a total of 4,225,900 domestic and foreign tourists, a year-on-year increase of 65.24%.
A new era and a new journey
This railway to wealth, happiness, dreams and distance
It will bring together the people of all ethnic groups in the Tibet Autonomous Region
All the way forward, all the way to flowers
Write a more brilliant new chapter in tourism development
