Abstract: The construction of the QinghaiXizang highway （GolmudLhasa section） led by General Mu Shengzhong in the 1950s is an important historical event in the early days of the founding of New China, which is one of the most vivid manifestations of the “Two Roads” spirit. Based on the relevant literature, this paper discusses some historical issues in the process of road construction, and draws the following conclusions: firstly, there are different opinions on the ways of Mu Shengzhongs discovery of Golmud and the new route into Xizang, such as the discovery of camel workers in the transportation corps, the guidance of Fan Changjiangs writings, the discovery with the help of maps, and the guidance of Xiangride residents, among which the latter two opinions are supported by certain materials and reliable; secondly, the Qinghai provincial government of the Republic of China had already built the highway between Xiangride and Golmud before Mu Shengzhong began to lead the construction of the QinghaiXizang highway, which laid some foundations for the start of the QinghaiXizang highway construction project; finally, there are three sources of funds used in the construction of the QinghaiXizang highway, one is allocated by the Ministry of Communications, the second is by the Xizang Transportation Corps, and the third is by the Finance Department of the Central Military Commission.
