Tibet seeks balance of ecology, economy

Editor's Note: After 40 years of high-speed growth, China's economy has entered a high-quality development phase. China Daily is featuring a series of reports to show the new landscape across the country.

Home to the world's deepest canyon, some of the highest lakes and Mount Qomolangma, the Tibet autonomous region is known as one of the purest landscapes on Earth.

Maintaining that requires not only following Tibetan traditions, which see polluting the environment as a sin, but also practicing ecological civilization along with high-growth economic development, said Karma Tsegyal, an official from the region's northwestern Jangngon village.
