It is a key component of the power project for elecrtoless areas in the Dingri County,Shigatse Prefecture of Tibet,lasting over two years.

It took the workers nine months to build the power transmission line of up to 85 kilometers,who have worked in the areas of over five thousands altitude above the sea level,conquering serious oxygen deficiency.
