August 5, a Mongolian family from Lanzhou started their journey to worship in Tibet by Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The five family members said that the operation of Qinghai-Tibet Railway reduced their journey time to enter Tibet and the carriages were comfortable. The Mongolian mom, Ben Bu Ren is 76 years old and she has been to Tibet 70 years before. Before the launch of Qinghai-Tibet Railway, this Mongolian mom intended to worship in Tibet, but it is too difficult for her to enter Tibet by bus with so long distance. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway realizes her dream for worshiping in Tibet.
