Dance drama pays tribute to landmark railway project

In 2001, when composer Yin Qing read the news about the start of the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, he was very excited and wanted to do a song on the subject.

The railway, which is 1,956 kilometers long, is the world's highest line, and the longest built on a single plateau. At its highest point, it is 5,072 meters above sea level.

The railway connecting Tibet with the rest of world, links Xining - the capital of Qinghai province - with Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet autonomous region.
