穿越塔克拉玛干沙海——“死亡之海”中的绿色奇迹

Crossing Taklamakan Desert:A Green Miracle in the“Sea of Death”

塔克拉玛干沙漠公路连通了沙漠南北缘城镇带的多个县市,对助力新疆经济发展及支持国家能源建设至关重要。建设者们克服艰难险阻,先后解决了在流动沙丘上牢筑路基、建立公路防沙阻沙体系以及科学养护防护林等一系列技术难题,才造就了如今贯穿“死亡之海”的绿色奇迹。

Taklamakan Desert Highway connecting multiple cities and counties along the northern and southern edges of the desert plays a crucial role in promoting economic development in Xinjiang and supporting national energy endeavors.The builders of the highway have overcome many challenging hurdles and technical problems,such as constructing roadbeds on moving sand dunes,establishing a sand barrier system along the highway,and implementing science-based maintenance and protection of shelterbelt forest.It is their toil and moil that have made the green miracle traversing the desolate desert which is nicknamed the"Sea of Death".
