China has finally began flying operations into the world's highest airport reportedly to be able to open up Tibet to tourism.
This goes hand in hand with a new train line (world's highest) across permafrost to the Tibetan capital Lhasa.
The travel time between the Tibetan region and Chengdu (Sichuan provinces capital) will reduce from 2 days by bus to 65 minutes.
This will mean the Chinese can send the military their quicker during times of unrest
