This photo taken on June 18, 2018 shows residences built for villagers who have moved from Nyima County of Nagqu to the new settlement in Lhasa during a relocation program with environmental purposes in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. A total of 1,102 residents have been relocated to a new settlement in Lhasa to make their old neighbourhoods accessible to wild animals in the Qiangtang National Nature Reserve. Completed on Monday, the relocation marked the first such program carried out for the sake of environmental protection in areas at high altitudes in Tibet Autonomous Region. (Xinhua/Chogo)
