Motuo lies in the south of the Himalayas in Tibet. It ( be ) known as the " Natural Museum of Tibet". It is home to all kinds of mountains, rivers, waterfalls, plants and animals. Its ( special ) geographic location (地理位置) makes it a beautiful place. It was one of the ( hard ) places to reach and was the last city in China without a highway.
The construction (施工) of the first highway to Motuo ( start ) in the 1960s. However, it was not completed until over 50 years later. In 2014, the construction of ( its ) second highway-the Paimo Highway started. In October 2022, the construction of the main body of the highway was completed.
They are great engineering projects. In this area, earthquakes and heavy rains happened very ( often ). There could be falling rocks or even landslides (滑坡). People must build many walls and nets to protect the two highways. Another ( challenge ) was the snow. Large amounts of snow sometimes destroyed rocks and roads. As a result, the construction of the highways to Motuo was stopped several times. ( solve ) this problem, people built a tunnel (隧道) that goes through the mountain area.
The two highways stand for the Chinese ( spirit ) of "never giving up". They are ways to connect Motuo to the outside world and show how China ( care ) about people in the far areas.
