Picture this: a sprawling network of underground \"veins\" keeping a megacity alive. That’s Chongqing’s 100,000+ km labyrinth of pipelines—and it’s getting a massive glow-up! 🌆✨
China’s ambitious plan to renovate aging water, gas, and utility networks is in full swing, with Chongqing leading the charge. But how do you tackle such a colossal project without grinding daily life to a halt? 🤔 Reporter Wang Tianyu hit the streets to find out.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Why It Matters for You
Upgraded pipelines mean fewer disruptions (goodbye, surprise road closures!) and greener energy flows. For young entrepreneurs? It’s a golden chance to innovate in smart city tech. 💼🌱
As Wang wrapped her tour, she noted: \"This isn’t just infrastructure—it’s the unseen backbone of Chongqing’s future.\" 🔍🚀 Stay tuned for more #BizFocus deep dives!
