Scene of Economic Development of Xizang (Tibet)
The economy and transportation in old Xizang (Tibet) were very backward. There was no modern industry, only animal husbandry and a little agriculture and handicrafts.

After the democratic reform in 1959 economic construction quickened, particularly after the implementation of the reform and opening policy in 1979. Not only were modern industries and transportation and telecommunications facilities established: the agriculture, animal husbandry and commerce already in place developed rapidly.
