The Ngari area in Tibet has a total area of ​​345,000 square kilometers, 7 counties under its jurisdiction, a total population of 119,000, and an average altitude of more than 4,500 meters. Due to its remote location and harsh natural environment, it is the most difficult "hard bone" in the fight against poverty in the autonomous region. The 1,200-kilometer border with Nepal, India, Kashmir and other countries and regions makes Ali’s poverty alleviation closely related to the national strategy of governing borders and stabilizing Tibet.
