I came to China since 1998. I have the privilege to witness the changes in the country for 24 years. The environmental transformation in China has been spectacular.
Amazing, China diverted the excess water to avoid flooding downstream to enable the dessert to be rejuvenated. It is like God has designed it in such a way the solution is waiting for humans to be discovered. This should be nominated for some global award.
I'd have to say the Chinese are really good at terraforming. Leasons learned here could be useful for mankinds adventures into the unknown planets of our universe. Such ingenuity deserves recognition.
I mean, there are probably more productive uses for resources. This desert got lucky for being so close to a river and major population center to give the project money and political will. Hard to do this in the Gobi desert. Harder to even get people interested
I like that you have english subs to reach the western audience. I wish more western youtubers realise that it's the west that needs to be aware of the real China.
Wouldn’t the “real china” be the average life of average people? You wouldn’t say that the “real” any country is it’s natural wonders, tourist spots, or rare sights.
@@yucol5661 agreed, I agree with that average people in china aren't doing so hot. Not to say the standard of living is bad it's just not amazing lol. Our food is good tho!
With my limited knowledge of Chinese history, even I have noticed that the Chinese have always been great with innovations and super creative (with extreme limited resources) in problems solving. They have been doing that for thousands of years. Bravo!!!!
9:35 The dune buggies look fun, but that cart vehicle looks even more so! Being much higher off the ground than if one were in a dune buggy would make every bit of travel over uneven terrain terrifyingly thrilling~
So apparently if you sit at the front of that bus like vehicle (as I did) it's just a drive around. If you sit towards the back, you get the full feel of the dunes and its much more fun. Must be something to do with sitting on the back axle.
Thank U So Much STU for showcasing the KUBUQI OASIS to us. Your video is AMAZING. Your MANDARIN skills is Ultra AWESOME. Your STORY Telling skills is Ultra FANTASTIC. Your Example in Taking CARE of your Parents are MARVELOUS. There is No--Doubt, the EARTH + the UNIVERSE have been blessed by your present.
I went to central Xinjiang, lop nor and bosten lake region. the transformation there has been just as dramatic, with lakes returning to Lop Nor and Bosten lake's water level has been rising every single year.
thanks for showing so many wonder works done never covered by western medias I am living in N.America for the past 60 year and wish that I still have time to go back and see at least one of the wonders
You have yet again shown us another amazing & fun place in China! I do appreciate the bits of humour peppered through your presentation :) With international borders still closed to regular tourists, thankyou so much for letting me experience China vicariously through your videos!
Overseas Chinese here. Great video! You speak Mandarin way better than me :) I'm here cos I'm interested to see if the Great Green Wall is genuinely thriving, or if the planted trees will die off in a few years. I couldn't pick up any insects or bees. How are those, did you see those?
I'm not an expert, so can't answer your question, sorry. I haven't heard anything about trees dying off. I guess you can check back next year when they hold the 2024 Great Wall Marathon and see what it looks like then. Sorry for not being able to answer your question.
Oh yeah. Loads. So many insects. Although, I didn't see any wild bees in the desert. Plenty of other insects and bugs, including dragonflies.@@MaharionPendragon
It's fascinating to see what China are doing in their Desert regions, other countries with deserts could learn so much from this too.... turning non-usable land into lakes is a win-win for the people that live there, farming, and for the country as a whole, and tourism etc.. it's a no brainer really
so cool that I (a Chinese abroad) am learning about China from an expat 😂 great video! wish you had interviewed locals central to the effort but maybe they wouldn’t be accessible 😅
It's result of decades of hard work and sacrifices. According to history, the project to rescue the lands started during Mao administration, and some were added at later periods making the environments in China very beautiful although industrial cities have very bad air pollution. But in fact, most parts of China have very beautiful environment. Although the real ideal at that time was to be able to produce more foods, it's very great to see a desert disappearing from man's efforts.
Yes,your government should save and use all the money and energy to do good things for your country and not just follow what America tell you to do....
I always amazed with how China government and their people manage their nature with so advance technology, they convert desert into wetland, convert wasteland to rich agriculture farmland I hope our government in Indonesia can follow China's brain and strategy, Indonesia people will be great. greeting from Indonesia for China, you make better world, with everything is going cheaper and affordable, very good
Excellent technology. Wise leadership and competent responsible collective governance will bless the nation and people with progress prosperity happiness stability security. Those Asuras not appreciating and blocking the path to progress of others will fall into decline. Well done China 👍❤️🇨🇳
another example of wasting water just like what Las Vegas does to the Lake Mead. Just ask yourself if it is a cost-effective way of using water. if it is not, it won't last long.
Where did they get rhe water? If they can do this in a desert, how come they can't do something about the drought in 3 Gorges Dam area & other places where there is dire need of water?
You have no idea about China's geography. They can use Yellow river to water the Desert it is because Yellow River flows through this area They can easily just doing some projects to guide the river to water here. 3 Gorges Dam is based in my hometown and based on Yangtze River is very far away from this Desert area and if you do so then you will flood all the cities along and make Those cities along the Yangtze River to be drought. Dont be silly
How sustainable are annual flood waters from the Yellow River? What happens during drought? Does the desert dry back up or does water continue to be diverted from the Yellow River? If the latter, wouldn't it be robbing Peter to pay Paul? Hasn't the Yellow River already run dry for years in the lower reaches because of diversion of irrigation waters? upstream?
I am from north west China. People from my hometown have transformed our desert into bush land after 30 years of united efforts!
Gansu province?

The Greenies would ever allow it in Australia . They are anti development .
As long as we work with nature rather than against it, we can generate much prosperity. 🙌
The western people only treat China with ctriticism but no awards
Just add one thing, The government left a small portion of desert for local tourism industry
U lost me at God

This is only a basic question.....
Great Effort of China. Spectacular.
Wow, now that is super impressive! I love China, it’s people and the great things they are doing!
These require 20 or 30 years of hard work, and Americans who are used to making money in one second in stocks will not learn it.
Amazing. Good news for the deserts of the world as they can also be transformed.
The bad news: it will take 30 years of effective government and hardworking people. It's tough for a 4-year election

真心觉得要让我这里环保青年德国的“最后一代”全体去沙漠种树 这样他们有意义的事做 不用常常没事干拿胶水把自己手粘公路拦车搞破坏。
对
德国的howdareyou小女孩每天鬼哄鬼叫却没实际动作
中国没说太多，直接就干了才叫正真的环保
@@angchianming 那是瑞典的
我不认同上面两位的观点，环保应该各司其职，瑞典女孩虽然有些激进，但确实唤醒了更多人对环保的重视，这点我觉得光靠多种一棵树是做不到的，侧面来说，她的行为比种树跟重要，因为目前气候升温是全球性问题，光靠瑞典等欧洲国家去种树也起不到作用，要政客下决心割肉断腕更重要，从基层倒逼他们确实更有用。
Hi Stu from Stu, Im glad to say that one of those small little tree was planted from my donation! I am proud of that!

The desert is below the river water level, making it possible for flooding....
With water diverted from the south, more can be flooded !
Love your videos mate! As does my wife, who doesn't speak English. Let us know if you're anywhere near Changchun.

There is no such river near Arabian or Sahara desert. So it's not possible

这些水雨季时候会造成洪涝，就算是旱季最终也是从黄河流向大海。你对中国的河流似乎一无所知，中国的河流几乎都会通过长江和黄河然后排入太平洋。我们还有计划将高原的水引导到沙漠来，不过是2050年左右完成，那个水本来会在雨季汇入长江造成南部地区洪涝最终也是流入大海。我不知道有什么可抱怨的，把雨季流向海里的水引导到沙漠里，解决了沙漠问题不好么，虽然这需要几十年的时间。
@@cheneychen5703 妳對中國歷史的貧乏令人驚訝。大禹治水，李冰父子的都江堰都是中國治水的驕傲，利國利民的工程。水是珍稀資源，尤其是今日。如何將水資源充分利用是每個富國在做的事情，世界各國將乾淨水源導至數百里遠的城市，更是羅馬帝國兩千年來的思想，如今仍深遠影響西方國家。人家國強民富，不是沒有理由。中國古有李冰，然而能感恩的並視為理所當然的人，普遍都是，絕少有人想延續李冰的思想。
