On the other hand, QTR bridges the gap between the inland of China and Tibet. The products, which one couldn't see in Lhasa, are now on the market, making the local people's life more comfortable. Tourists are doubled and redoubled by the QTR, which increases the locals' income.
Besides, many livelihood projects have been implemented. For example, the heating project under construction will alleviate the cold winter for the local civilians soon as it is completed.
In addition, Lhasa has become a wonderful place for young people and inland "white collars" to travel and have adventurous self-exiles in an ancient exotic city with both changes and stable original temperament.
The Barkhor Street, which is the old center of Lhasa, still maintains its original look, and so does the lifestyle of its local Tibetans. The pious Tibetans and Buddhism followers from other Tibetan-inhabited regions come to the city and take ritual walk around the Jokhang Temple as usual.
When winter comes and tourists decrease, the bright sunlight still overshines the city no matter it is busy or not.
