A highway linking Lhasa, capital of the Xizang autonomous region, and the region's Shigatse city was officially opened to traffic on Sunday, marking a significant milestone in the region's transportation infrastructure.
With a length of 245 kilometers, the Lhasa-Shigatse Highway is a part of the G4218 Ya'an–Yecheng National Expressway, which starts at Ya'an city of Sichuan province, and ends at the Yecheng county of Kashgar prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, spanning three provincial-level administrative regions.
