'China's Switzerland' sees big tourism push

In the past, only a few local villagers operated family inns in the village and sold local products to tourists, and there were not many tourists in the town.

Starting from 2011 more than 300,000 yuan ($42,389) has been invested in tourism infrastructure construction as a Tibet aid project, going toward projects including water supply, sewage disposal and trash recycling, all part of the effort to turn the town into an international tourism area.
