Aerial photo taken on June 10, 2020, shows communication base stations at Tashkurgan, the Tajik autonomous county in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Located east of the Pamir Plateau, Tashkurgan averages over 4,000 meters above sea level. The remote villages in the county have few options to communicate with the outside world. To meet the demand of over 5,200 local residents for radio and television programs, the county started a project to connect optical fiber cables to homes this year. Currently, workers are pressing ahead with the project despite difficulties such as high altitude and complicated weather conditions. [Photo/Xinhua]
