Comprehensive report on the through train for agriculture, rural areas and farmers: on July 1, 2006, on the long-distance road of Princess Wencheng into Tibet, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was opened to traffic, known as the "Heavenly Road." The highest and longest plateau railway in the world is 10 years old this year. Over the past 10 years, this "heavenly road" has been like an auspicious "Hada", carrying the sons and daughters of the snow to the other side of the dream of happiness.
