The whole project will cost about 216 billion yuan, while the train will travel at 200 km/h
The most difficult part of the Sichuan-Tibet railway, the Kangding-Nyingchi section, will begin construction in 2018, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.
As the second railway connecting Tibet with the rest of the country, the project is expected to be completed in 2025, five years earlier than planned.
