Research on the Application Strategy and Sustainable Development of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from the Perspective of World Heritage Sites

Abstract

This article focuses on railways, and from the perspective of World Heritage sites, uses the Ovi Interactive Map to summarize the overview and construction difficulties along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in China. We select railway linear heritage sites from around the world, conduct comparative research with the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in terms of geographical location, selection criteria, diversity and protection of natural and cultural landscapes along the line, and ultimately propose a sustainable development model for the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from the perspective of heritage tourism, and explore the possibility of applying for World Heritage on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
