Imagine a roaring machine the size of a 15-story building digging through ocean depths – welcome to Zhoushan, where engineers are building the world’s longest undersea high-speed rail tunnel! 💥 This 37-kilometer engineering beast could reshape regional travel, slash journey times, and boost coastal economies across eastern China.
🔧 CGTN’s Mike Walter takes us behind the scenes where a ‘Transformers’-level shield machine drills through rock 78 meters below sea level. The project aims to connect Ningbo and Zhoushan – two major hubs – with trains zipping at 250 km/h by 2028. Talk about a #SpeedUpgrade!
🌏 Why should global youth care? This tunnel isn’t just concrete and steel – it’s about sustainable infrastructure, cutting-edge tech, and how mega-projects tackle climate-resilient travel. Plus, Zhoushan’s ‘thousand islands’ might just become your next adventure spot once the rail opens! 🏝️
