By last week 133 villagers from 29 households in Tibet's Puma Changthang township had all finished moving into their new houses, meaning all the township's residents were living in free houses provided by the government.
Sharing a 25-km border with Bhutan where the average altitude tops 5,300 meters above sea level, the Puma Changthang township is in Nakarze county of Southwest China's Tibet autonomous region, and it is renowned as the "world's highest township".
Resettlement in new housing provided by the government is part of the government's efforts to ensure its entire population lives comfortably in border areas.
