Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region aims to build and upgrade 4,500 km of rural roads to link all its townships and villages by the end of 2019, local authorities said Thursday.
Cement roads bring more economic benefits for people living in mountain areas. They also bring investment from outside.
In the past, few villages in Qibainong had roads connecting with the outside world and transportation mainly depended on horses.
With improved infrastructure, tourists began flocking in and were charmed by the scenic rural landscape and unique folklore cultures of the local She ethnic group.
