The Tibet Autonomous Region is located in the southwestern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average elevation of more than 4,000 meters. It is known as the "Roof of the World" and "The Third Pole of the Earth."

Since the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1951, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the support of the people of all ethnic groups across the country, Tibet has achieved a great victory in eradicating absolute poverty.

The country’s only provincial-level concentrated contiguous poverty-stricken area has been lifted out of poverty as a whole, and the per capita net income of the poor has exceeded 10,000 yuan, which has been continuously determined by the central government as “good comprehensive evaluation”.

More than half a century ago, a million serfs were liberated; today, Tibet is completely free from the problem of absolute poverty that has been restrained for thousands of years!

The engineering of the century is advancing.

The interconnection project between Alibaba and Tibet-China power grids has been completed, ending the history of the operation of the national municipal power grid.

Construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway started, the Fuxing ship entered the plateau, and the history of no railways in southeastern Tibet ended.

The development of hydropower on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River has become a national strategy. Two landmark projects in the new era will make Tibet and the mainland of the motherland closer together, and people of all ethnic groups will live a better life!
