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.
