China announced on Saturday completion of the world’s highest railway, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which stretches 1,956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa cities in western China.
The announcement was made at a ceremony held at the Lhasa Railway Station Saturday morning to mark the country’s success in making the impossible possible, by building a railway line across 5,000-meter-high mountain ranges and 550-km-long frozen belt.
Chinese President Hu Jintao praised, in a congratulatory letter, the landmark railway as an “unprecedented triumph” in human history of railway construction.
