1. *Road of Heaven* : literal translation from “天路” (Tian Lu). It refers to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway linking Lhasa to the rest of China, completed in 2006. As it was built on the highland at 4000 m average altitude, and Tibet is known as “the place closest to heaven”, so the railway is dubbed “the road of heaven”.
