China’s Hidden Marvel: World’s Deepest HSR Station Under the Great Wall 🚄🌏✨

Imagine blending ancient history with cutting-edge engineering—China just did it! 🇨🇳 The world's deepest high-speed rail (HSR) station, nestled 102 meters underground, now operates silently beneath the iconic Great Wall. 🏯⚡️

Built near Beijing's Badaling section, this engineering feat allows bullet trains to whisk travelers to the 2022 Winter Olympics venues in just 20 minutes—a journey that once took hours. CGTN reporter Shen Shiwei recently explored the site with American civil engineering students, who called it 'mind-blowing' 🤯 for its precision in protecting the UNESCO site above.

Key highlights:

• 🚇 Temperature-controlled tunnels prevent structural shifts
• 🛤️ Noise reduction tech preserves the Great Wall's tranquility
• ⏱️ Connects Beijing to Zhangjiakou at 350 km/h

One student marveled: 'It's like building a Lego city underground without disturbing the museum above!' 🏗️💡 The project reflects China's ambition to merge heritage conservation with next-gen infrastructure—perfect for travelers and tech enthusiasts alike.
