Cheng Zengguang, deputy section chief of Golmud operations with China Railway Qinghai-Xizang Group, said that the station hadn't operated due to underdeveloped infrastructure and minimal demand.
Yanshiping township was recently designated a "characteristic town" of Xizang, paving the way for a transformation. Improvements to local infrastructure, coupled with the rise of tourist attractions, created a pressing need for passenger services, according to Cheng.
Following six months of renovations and facility upgrades, Yanshiping Station now integrates seamlessly into the Xining-Lhasa schedules.
