According to reports,After the opening of the Lalin Railway, Lhasa to Shannan and Linzhi can be reached in 1 hour 10 minutes and 3 hours 29 minutes at the fastest.The Lalin Railway is 435.48 kilometers long and has a design speed of 160 kilometers per hour. It is a national Class I single-track electrified railway.

The mountains along the route are high and deep, with a relative elevation difference of 2500 meters. The construction is extremely difficult.
Since the start of construction in March 2015, 47 tunnels and 121 bridges have been completed, including the Bayu Tunnel with the largest depth in China, the Sangzhuling Tunnel with high ground temperature, and the Zangmu Yarlung Zangbo River Bridge.
The completion and opening of the Lalin Railway put an end to the history of unreachable railways in southeastern Tibet, made up for the shortcomings of existing transportation methods that are easily affected by the plateau climate, further improved the regional comprehensive transportation system, and improved the stability and accessibility of transportation It has also historically achieved full coverage of 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities.
