BEIJING, July 1 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese State Post Bureau issued a set of
stamps on Saturday to mark the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the world's
longest plateau railroad.
The set, including three stamps, with each 80 fen (10 U.S. cent) of face
value, respectively depicts a train running through the Hoh Xil no man's land, a
train climbing over the Tanggula Mountain and the Lhasa Station, the railway's
terminal.
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, opened on Saturday, stretches 1,956 kilometers
from Qinghai's provincial capital of Xining to Lhasa. The section of 814 km from
Xining to Golmud began operation in 1984 and the Golmud-Lhasa section started
construction on June 29,2001.
The project is dubbed an "engineering marvel" because people used to think
the perennial ice and slush along the route could never support tracks and
trains.
The railway is projected to help double tourism revenues by 2010 and reduce
transport costs for goods by 75 percent in Tibet, Chinese officials said.
