The Historical Significance of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway

The reason for choosing this time to walk into the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is that December 25, 2024, is an important anniversary of the 70th anniversary of the completion and opening of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. 70 years ago, more than 100,000 road builders split cliffs and conquered dangerous rivers. In the harsh natural environment and difficult working conditions, they fought against life and death, and completed the great project of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, ending the history of Tibet without modern roads. As a "sky road" to Tibet, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway connects the "Land of Abundance" with the "Roof of the World", promotes the modernization and civilization progress of the western frontier, and has a far-reaching impact on promoting national unity, ethnic unity, economic and industrial development, scientific and technological innovation, and ecological protection.
