(230427) -- LHASA, April 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo shows Zhaxi Nyima (R) and his apprentice practicing operation skills on overhead high-voltage live wire in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, April 26, 2023. Zhaxi Nyima has been working in the field of power supply for about 30 years. In 2016, he took the training class and got the certificate, becoming the first person qualified of doing live-wire work in high altitude area in State Grid Tibet Electric Power Company. Live-wire operation is an important technical measure to ensure reliable power supply, but it is also a very dangerous and hard work. No matter in hot summer or cold winter, as long as there is a task, Zhaxi Nyima will climb on the high-voltage wire more than 10 meters above the ground and solve the problems. In 2018, Tashi Nyima won the title of "Tibetan Craftsman" in recognition of his professional skills. (Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)

Black-necked crane couples are breeding babies in wetlands at an altitude of about 4,700 meters in Xainza County. Every year around the time of June, pairs of black-necked cranes migrate to Xainza County to hatch eggs on grass piers surrounded by water.

Every year around the time of June, pairs of black-necked cranes migrate to Xainza County to build nests and hatch eggs on grass piers surrounded by water. Black-necked cranes usually lay one or two eggs in every nest, and the incubation period is about 30 days. In recent years, Xizang has continuously strengthened the protection of the habitat of black-necked cranes, and their living environment has been effectively improved.

                (240527) -- GARZE, May 27, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Nyima Lhamo (R) and her brother Tashi Wangchug have lunch in Shade Town, Kangding City, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Sichuan Province, May 23, 2024. From early May to late June every year, caterpillar fungus enters its harvest season in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Sichuan Province. Found only at high altitudes, caterpillar fungus, known in China as "winter-worm summer-grass," is said to be effective in boosting the immune system. During the harvest season, the locals will start heading for alpine ground over 4,000 meters above sea level to collect the fungus. The caterpillar fungus harvest time can last over 40 days. For the locals, collecting this precious fungus offers them seasonal jobs and helps increase their income. In recent years, the average household income could be increased by 20,000 to 60,000 yuan (about 2,760 to 8,282 U.S. dollars) per year by selling caterpillar fungus in Shade Town of Kangdin

                    (240312) -- LHASA, March 12, 2024 (Xinhua) -- In this undated photo taken by a mobile phone, Champa takes part in a horse racing event in Nyima County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Champa, 29, hails from Zho'nyin Town, Nyima County, Nagqu City of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, which is a pastoral area deep in the Changtang Grassland with an altitude of more than 4,700 meters. In 2020, Champa learned that China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) was recruiting college graduates in Xizang and signed up for the job. In September of that year, Champa became an offshore oilfield worker and has been working in the Qinhuangdao 32-6 Oilfield ever since. As a production operator, he focuses on the safe production and stable operation of the crude oil processing and sewage treatment systems. Offshore work is rotated on a 28-day shift. During breaks, Champa traveled around the country, but more often he returned to his hometown to reunite with his family. "When I'm back at

                      (230604) -- GOLMUD, June 4, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Workers conduct power grid maintenance work at Tanggulashan Township of Golmud City in the Mongolian-Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Haixi, northwest China's Qinghai Province, June 3, 2023. Since 2012, the State Grid's Qinghai Electricity Power Company would conduct its annual centralized maintenance of the Qinghai-Tibet grid interconnection project, whose grid lines are laid at the plateau with an average altitude of 4,500 meters. Low temperatures, lack of oxygen and strong winds on the plateau challenge the operation and maintenance of the grid. Over 420 workers would finish this year's maintenance work of 608-kilometer-long power transmission lines as well as the Qaidam Converter Station in 15 days recently. Over 10.5 billion kWh of electricity has been transferred to Tibet through the Qinghai-Tibet grid interconnection project, which was put into operation in 2011. (Xinhua/Zhang Hongxiang)
