When you say miles please think of the rest of the planet and introduce also km! It's not that hard :))

2:36 “…about 229ft on either side of the road.” I do not understand the absurd precision often used when metric quantities are converted to imperial. Especially in this case where 70m is ~229.7ft which correctly rounds to 230ft anyway.

Chinese are hardcore. Gotta ĺove the ingenuity and problem solving skills of those engineers and their can do attitude. Simply impressive...

Woww, first time hearing narration on China without bashing at it one second on KZfaq, other channels always dilute content with that. Amazing video, scripting, and narration it was super informative.

We have three such roads, and all of them cross the desert, the length of each is about 500 kilometers. I would like to inform you that from April to October every year, there are service points along the road where you can rest and drink water. So, if you are a cycling enthusiast, you can try your hand at crossing this desert road. It will be a bit difficult - in mid-summer at noon the surface temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius, so it's best to ride in the early morning and late evening, and rest at lunchtime. However, due to the dense distribution of service points and the presence of two small towns along the way, it can generally be said that the whole process is pretty safe, provided your health is good. I highly recommend cycling enthusiasts to try their hand at this route. Another exciting guide is the 5,476 kilometer bike ride from Shanghai to Lhasa, passing through more than a dozen provinces in China, with delightful views. Also highly recommended for cycling enthusiasts!

US and UK needs to understand whole world understand kms, kg,°c etc.

More than oil & gas it is a strategic road to connect to Tibet. The other access to Tibet further east is through the high mountains of Aksai Chin. It passes through area annexed from Indian territory & will have to be returned sooner or later. Besides, in case of an Indo China war it gives them one more route to access Tibet.

Excellent piece. Thank you. Very interesting. I think it is quite unique. Although I remember a desert road in Lybia, that the flight I was on from South Africa to London seemed to follow for almost two hours to the Mediterranean coast. At a speed if about 750 km/h that would be about 900 miles of desert road. I read that Lybia has an extensive network of oil roads in the desert to service their oil wells.

You might rethink your commentary about the road being unique. The Eyre Highway (commonly referred to as the Nullarbor Hwy) in Australia is 1675km long and takes around two days to cross, with petrol stations 200 klm apart. The longest strait stretch is 147 km (91 miles). 🇦🇺

Worked on Seismic crews there in the 1980s.

The Nullarbor Plain road in Western Australia is 781 miles long with no inhabitants, apart from roadhouse occupants. Most of that is not sandy desert. The transSahara Highway is 4,000km, with a lot of that being dunes. So this is not the longest route.

If you miss an exit, call an ambulance.

Amazing! A light house on the dessert. Best for sand's lovers.

A pipeline would have been greater Idea if it was all about transportation of gas or oil.... 😂

i think u should say in km too bro, coz not all people familiar with miles.

Tibetans look like Chinese ppl ..entire north east India do not look like rest of India ..

Interesting

It's about time these guys make themselves a new promise land for the world to see

The reforestation efforts started with a hydrogen refinery called tower town in hotan, good story 😮

I salute to China and their ingenuity!

Now they need some casinos there.

Chinese ingenuity

Very clever people

grt work china

In the event of World War 3 this will facilitate ease of access in moving troops and material so that the oils wells etc, can be secured quickly as possible to preserve what is left so that the supply can be manipulated even more that it already is.

Very cool. I absolutely love China when it does cool stuff like this. China has many more projects like this.

It is fascinating, but a railroad would have been 100000 times smarter. It can transport more efficiently and more oil volume is better for the enviroment and faster travel. They build railroads everywhere else but smh they neglect it here

I love china 🇨🇳 Their people Their infrastructure.,building They can do impossible things in this world 🌎

Such projects are very temporary and needs lot of maintenance and care. Like growing a forests in the middle of desert. With uproraring global climate such projects are hard to sustain or needs lot of money to pour for survival.

All praise to China

Thank you for your information. (And then I will make a calculation, from miles to kilometers )

I would love to drive on this highway.

Interesting. Reminds me of the view from freeway of Southern Pacific Railway through the Coachella Valley from Cabazon to Indio California. Salt Cedar trees serve to keep sand off track and break the wind.

That’s the kinda highway you go 120mph in a convertible

If there is so much oil under there, we clearly have no idea how oil is formed as quite clearly there was never a forest there

Guess, the Chinese will start green forest and green farming along the road

AN0THER GREAT J0B FR0M CH!NA!!!

Amazing!

Respect china👍👍👍👍👍

Housing construction will follow with all essentials

They should expand the green areas in the desert.

Thank you.

Amazing China

Ok show us the Australian desert road 😎

mannnnn I want to be a tender to the irrigation system. seriously would they take a foreigner?? what a life that would be

Short answer: For the oil.

but you did not show the latest footage of road.

This is what you call Build Back Better.

Looks perfect for speeding. 😉

Thanks for the positive view on China. Lately, all I’ve been encountered anti China videos😟

We are on the road to nowhere.

Why the so-called advanced countries are building labs on Mars?

I just wanted to be the only non-Chinese troll bot to post a comment here.

What can we do with all that sand?

New farmland will be reconstructed for future settlements

172 miles to be exact, it’s actually kilometers

Now, the Fruit bearing trees like avocado. mango, jackfruit, date, licchi, grapes etc must now be plated in the middle of the desert roadside planted forests. ok.

Let's hope that the knowledge Chinese gahterd in this arduous task is used to benefit mankind and not used to further sinister communist agendas

Superb video ruined by the background music. Wish I could just shut that off while watching the scenery and listening to the narration.

Unbiased 👍👍

Its military purpose has no relation with development also the same with border areas Chinese the human colony, Aksai China China occupied Kashmir, Which India lost in early 1970, china took advantage of India's India unstable politics, India's newly independent at was the time, IndiaChina army was not advanced as compared to China, we had only British left weapons, but now we are worlds 2nd most military person and 4th largest military in the world, we will definitely take this land back in future it's not only dream its revenge tibet, south China, Aksai Chin

nothing is there to like about this video bro, you know who really build this long desert road? mainly Uyghurs political prisons with no payments. i really dont understand why people really appreciate for such projects and does anyone think of how many prisoners was dead in heat and bad working environment? if you work in desert more than 12 hours then i am sure within a week your youtube channel no longer have new video will be uploaded. in China most of govt maga projects there is image of prisoners in the uniform.

Cool

China's Five Year Plan to build an access road for oil exploration and retrieval.

An excellent video. Thanks!

It is in flow desert. Much more dangerous

'Why did the chinese build the road across the desert?' Well, to get to the other side. Anyway, the desert there is foreboding, and the road is interesting, but I don't think there is anything too amazing about drilling into an aquifer for water!

The road crosses the desert to get to the other side, just like why did the duck cross the road theory.

I have a question , why road , why not they build railway for oil and for passengers ? (Maybe it's costly build but after that railway system save time and money )

1:28 122 degrees oh boy i wonder if it's celsius or fahreinheit

I haven't heard a new development invention. Coastlines all over the world have salt water and a huge amount of sand.

How about their subway for nothing?

This video is for American only

Why? Just like the Dalton highway in Alaska - OIL !!!

China is the best

Its China occupied Kashmir its India's Land aksai Chin

前人栽树，后人乘凉

Big institution will follow

So they can use it

They build in SI units, not in some barbaric crap.

use KM not mile

This is just a pro China advertisement. If you'd pay closer attention you might learn something but I seriously have my doubts.

Amazing - imagine if all that money was invested in wind-solar and battery 🤔

VERY INTERESTING! THE OIL RESERVES FOUND HERE MUST HAVE BEEN THE REASON THE CHINESE DECIDED TO CONVERT THE CHINESE RAILROADS FROM COAL FIRED STEAM LOCOMOTIVES TO DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES! IN 1989 THE LAST STEAM LOCOMOTIVE BUILT THERE, THE JS SERIES 8419 WAS BUILT. THIS LOCOMOTIVE WAS EXPORTED TO THE BOONE AND SCENIC RAILROAD, BOONE IOWA! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!! 👍👍

when capital flows mindlessly on a command of a autocratic mob on top and we don't think about how many political slave laborers died there .. anything is possible.

Uhh maybe to get from point A to point B hahaha it's strange to have a road from point A to point B it's a real life mystery ? Hahaha

👏

Run way capabilities think people..

Because their locker was full ...so rest money thet want to spend or donate to beggar leaders like Imraan, Bajwa, Prachand, Oli, Rajpakse, Idi, Kim Jong, Erdogon, Mahatir

Practice…?

It feels like an itch when watching a route video with out its imaginary location points in the brain. Dude, show the map and the route properly.

Aid the unemployed

if you want to appeal to the international audiences then use SI as we do not want to hear nor think of the conversion of some backwater measuring unit or non-standard ones. then again seeing your channel is "pandora US" I am guessing you only target US audiences huh ? That aside thumbs up for China good job.

🧩

😂acting like drilling for oil HELPS climate change 🤪

Lol

GET,,, LOST,,, WITH,,, YOUR. ACRES... AND MILES,,, INCHES,,,, FEETS,, POUNDS,, BARRILS,, FED UP .FED UP,, FED UP,,,, BYE

So they built a road across a desert with moving sand dunes and no plans to protect it?

Nothing to do with securing the boader with India, one of the 3 countries in the region with nuclear weapons and a sworn enemy of China.

CAN YOU PLEASE SPEAK NORMAL ARGH!
