The words “railways like massive dragons are winding among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”.

Thirty-three passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural habitat. Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally unaware that we are speeding past at over 100 kilometres an hour.
To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its distinct ecosystem.

My name is Li Wei, but I’m also known as the “Panda Nanny of Wolong”. As you can probably guess, I take care of the pandas living in Sichuan’s Wolong National Nature Reserve. As well as looking after these incredible animals, I talk to visitors and post updates on social media. I hope that one day, more people can join me in taking care of the pandas.

When people ask me what I do, I tell them that I’m a “spiderman”. For me, a day at work involves climbing up and down the cliffs of Mount Yuntai’s Red Stone Gorge. With a rope tied around my waist, I clear rubbish left by tourists. The job isn’t without its risks, but I enjoy it. I’m very proud that I can help conserve the environment.
