Editor’s note: 2015 marks Tibet’s 50th anniversary of peaceful liberation. Located on the world’s highest plateau, Tibet used to be known for its underdeveloped transportation system. Over the last half century, the Chinese government has been dedicated to modernizing the connections on the roads, on the rails, and in the air. Here are eight public transportation icons in Tibet.
