Located on the China-India border, Yumai Township was once known as China's least populated township. For a long period since the 1960s, it was inhabited by only one household consisting of Yangzom, Zhoigar and their father Sangye Quba, who passed away in 2001. Before Sangye Quba's death, he expressed his belief that the authority would develop Yumai well. Nowadays, Sangye Quba's wish has been fulfilled. In February 2018, Tibet implemented the rural revitalization strategy, combining poverty alleviation and border defense with emphasis on key areas such as water and electricity supply, road construction, information networks, education, culture, health, and social security, striving to improve infrastructure and public services so as to accelerate the development of border areas.

The middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, once stretches of barren land with sandstorms raging in spring and winter, now see a sea of green trees all over the place. With unwavering endeavors of sand control and ecology restoration, more than 45 million trees have been planted over the past four decades in Shannan, an area the Yarlung Zangbo River runs through. In 1967, Li Chunlu, an agricultural school graduate from northwest China's Gansu Province, was assigned to work in Shannan. On his way to work, the 24-year-old was inundated by the yellow dust in the air. Li thought, at the time, how good it would be if trees could be planted here. An ambition of planting trees was bred in Li Chunlu as a boy named Penjig from a village by the Yarlung Z
