In China's Xinjiang, the Tianshan Victory Tunnel collapses a 7-hour mountainous journey into a mere 20-minute passage. This engineering marvel not only pierces through deep rock layers but also erases centuries of isolation, connecting people and transforming lives. More than a triumph over nature, it's a testament to the enduring quest to bridge divides for a better tomorrow. Follow 'Pulse of the Earth' to explore China's remarkable transportation innovations.

Once, mountains were an insurmountable geographical destiny. But in China's Xinjiang, a 20-minute journey through the Tianshan Victory Tunnel has completely folded a perilous 7-hour mountain road. These brief 20 minutes traverse not only deep rock layers but also lives that have been isolated by distance for centuries. We build bridges and roads, carve through mountains and break ground, not to conquer nature, but because on the other side of the mountains, there are people waiting. Follow the "Pulse of the Earth" series to see how China's transportation projects traverse mountains and rivers, connecting every journey.
