BEIJING, June 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a news report from Beijing Review:
Among the celebrated scenic spots in southwest Yunnan Province, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture is not on the frequently mentioned list. A lack of transportation infrastructure used to prevent many tourists from catching a glimpse of the region's breathtaking vistas.
With over 98 percent of the land being covered with undulating mountains, valleys and rivers, transportation infrastructure has long been on the region's development agenda but such projects have been hard to implement on the ground. Cliffs, frequent falling rocks and landslides have made road construction there a life-and-death endeavor.
