Across southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, protecting the environment and improving livelihoods are going hand in hand.

From newly built eco-villages to expanding clean energy projects, these images capture how green development is reshaping life on the plateau. Wetland restoration, solar power stations, modern pastoral communities and eco-tourism are becoming part of everyday life while helping preserve Xizang's unique environment.

Today, more than 50% of the region is demarcated within the country's ecological protection red lines, while industries such as photovoltaic power and sustainable tourism continue to create new opportunities for local communities.

These pictures offer a glimpse into a changing plateau — where clear waters, green mountains and modern development are growing together.
