New city to be established in China's Tibet

China's State Council, or the cabinet, approved the application of Nyingchi, Tibet Autonomous Region, to become the fourth prefecture-level city in the region, local authorities announced on Friday.

As part of the status upgrade, the city committee of the Communist Party of China, people's congress standing committee, government and political advisory body will be established.

Located in southeastern Tibet with an average altitude of 3,100 meters, Nyingchi is now the fourth prefecture-level city in Tibet after the regional capital Lhasa, Qamdo and Xigaze.

No new government buildings will be built and no extra personnel will be added on the government payroll after the inauguration of the new city, according to the State Council.

Nyingchi is a top tourist destination in Tibet with the Yarlung Zangbo River passing through. It has the lowest altitude in Tibet and has a warm and temperate climate.

Nyingchi received 2.8 million tourists in 2014 and created a tourism revenues of 2.8 billion yuan ($455 million).

Huge potential!
Now ti has an airport, we should prolong Qinghai-Tibet railway to Nyingchi, and study the feasibility of Sichuan-Tibet and Yunnan-Tibet railway and start these projects in the 13th 5-year plan.

Actually the altitude of this township is less than 3km, and with plenty of trees in the neighbourhood mountain sickness is not a problem. We can even establish a new autonomous region in eastern Tibet and western Sichuan, like in history, a province of Xikang.

Now this is a good move in advance of Nyingchi‘s becoming a rail hub connecting Tibet to Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, with the later providing the autonomous region with its 1st access to the sea and beyond。

PS A region of Tibet’s size should have at least 20 prefecture-level cities and administrative areas，so we need to grow the local population，by birth or immigration。

China has announced that it will extend the Qinghai-Tibet railway to the border areas with Nepal within the next five years. The railway will stretch out for another 540 kilometers from Xigaze to Jilong county which sits on the border of China and Nepal.

The announcement was made earlier this month during Neapalese President Ram Baran Yadav's visit to China.

President Yadav applauded the announcement, saying that it fitted into the main aim of his visit which was to promote road and air traffic between Nepal and China.

Nepal has long been expecting that a new Tibetan railway which would extend to the border areas to boost bilateral trade and tourism between the two countries.

Nepal is an important transit point between China and South Asia, and a major chunk of the two countries' expanding trade has been conducted through Tibet. With this newly announced Xigaze-to-Jilong section of the railway in five years, better road and rail connections could be expected between Nepal and China.

Earlier in March when Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Nepalese President Ram Baran Yadav at the 2015 Boao Forum for Asia in south China's Hainan province, the Nepalese President said that Nepal will support China's initiatives of jointly building the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road as well as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, or AIIB, saying that these are great measures to promote regional connectivity.

Moreover, Nepal also calls for strengthened cooperation between the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation, or SAARC, and China, in a bid to promote regional interconnectivity and economic development.
