Zhongxin Network Shannan Longzi June 19 Title: Visiting the Border Town of the Tibet Autonomous Region Zhari: Moving Toward Hot Development in the Spotlight
China News Network reporter Zhao Lang
Zari is a township in southern Tibet with a subtropical climate, towering mountains, dense forests, abundant precipitation, and these attributes mark the difference from most plateau areas, and not far south from this border township is India. The rapid development of infrastructure and the rapid improvement of people's lives have made this border township in the mountains more and more active on the Chinese map.
Jin Xianwei, a police officer at the Longzi Zhari Border Police Station who has been working here for 11 years, has a deep memory of the experience when he first came to report: from Shannan City to the township, the whole drive took 14 hours, the washboard road extended from Longzi County to the town, and some sections of the road were so narrow that it was impossible to make a mistake, "the car broke in the middle of the road."
After working for two years, Jin Xianwei had the first opportunity to take a vacation home, when there was no shuttle, "chartering a car is the fastest way, chartering a 2,000 yuan (RMB, the same below), only to Longzi County."
He also described that at that time, cooking was all firewood, charging phone bills relying on telephone cards, because there was no continuous power supply, and meat dishes were always spoiled more than eating. It's like an inland township that has been set back for years.
Jin Xianwei, like many local people, insisted on hoping for hope. For him, since 2016, the development of this border town has pressed the fast-forward button, from static development to hot development. Vegetables do not need to be tuned monthly, the table is more abundant, online shopping express can let the specialties of the south and north of the south of the sea be sent here, and the most remote duty points also have a network.
Recently, this reporter followed the Network Theme Activity of "Searching for the Most Beautiful Border People" jointly sponsored by the Cyberspace Administration of the Tibet Autonomous Regional Party Committee and the Tibet Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station into Zhari Township, Longzi County, Shannan, and visited the developing border town. Zari Township is close to India, the station is about 2800 meters above sea level, there is a dense primeval forest, occasional snow at the top of the mountain, the climate is warm and humid, and the mist-shrouded town is like a beautiful picture of Jiangnan.

In 2020, the oil road from Longzi County to Zhari Township was built, and the shuttle bus problem was solved.
Kim Hyun-wai said that he may work here until retirement in the future, and he hopes that the living conditions here will become better and better, and the popularity will become more and more prosperous.
Kelsang Wangm is a villager in the village of Sambadong in Zhari Township, and the Tsuna Ranch, which is close to the border, is where three generations of them graze their cattle.
In recent years, the subsidy for Tibetan border residents has risen again and again, and the subsidy for first-line border residents has risen to 6,000 yuan per person per year. Kelsang Wangmu felt the input of the central and Tibetan governments into the border. She also believes that even without subsidies, many people will protect their hometowns.
In 2017, the Tibet border well-off demonstration village project was successively landed, and Sambadong Village was within the scope of benefit.
Kelsang Wangmu said: "The house is uniformly built, more spacious and beautiful, the road surface in the village has hardened, and there are street lights, which is much more convenient." "Now, Zari Township is still undergoing infrastructure construction, and it is closer to the beautiful home she hopes for."
Deqing Dolma was born in Sambadong Village, where she now does business. She said that since she started doing business in 2007, she said, her family's surplus houses are now rented to others.
In the interview, she and the above two mentioned the traffic changes, the road used to be difficult, and snow and mountain closures in winter were the norm. His brother once rode his son to the county town to attend primary school, and now it is a 4-hour journey, which was 2 days at that time.
Deqing Dolma said: "In the past, the township primary school was only in the third grade, and from this year our children here can finish primary school nearby. ”
The traditional income of Zhari Township comes from grazing, digging wild medicinal herbs and weaving bamboo utensils. In recent years, the investment of the central government and the local government in Tibet has made the area more and more open, and has also brought more opportunities to local herders. As Deqing Dolma described, more and more local business people are doing business, and more villagers have bought engineering trucks, transport vehicles, and private cars have become family transportation.
"Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, border activities have been restricted and incomes have been affected. The natural scenery of her hometown is very beautiful and is waiting to be developed, "She hopes that tourism can develop rapidly and the people will benefit." (End)
