Special Report: Qinghai-Tibet Railway    

    XIAONANCHUAN, Qinghai, July 1 (Xinhua) -- A passenger train heading for Tibet drove into a area more than 4,000 meters above sea level, commonly-acknowleged as the "forbidden zone for lives" on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, about one hour after its departure from Golmud in Qinghai Province.

    The 1,142-km Golmud to Lhasa railway section has a 960-km-long track wriggling across the rigid area in northwester China, where lives are hard to survive due to low temperature and inadequate oxygen. Enditem
