BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhua)-- More than 26,000 hectares of trees will be
planted along the 700-kilometer Tibet section of the Qinghai-Tibet railway over
the next five years.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) and local volunteers have started the
tree-planting project, which will stretch from Mt Tanggula to Lhasa, capital of
Tibet.
The 1,956-km Qinghai-Tibet railway, which began service on July1 last
year, starts from Xining, capital of northwest China's Qinghai Province, and ends
in Lhasa. It is the world's highest railway and the first railway ever to go
to Tibet.
