Guardians of the Gobi railways

May 5, 2025

As trains thunder across the tracks like streaks of lightning, few pause to think of the silent sentinels safeguarding Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region's 9,525.68 kilometres of railway — much of it cutting through the barren Gobi Desert. Braving sandstorms and searing heat, railway workers toil day and night, lighting lamps against the wind, and inspecting every inch of rail to ensure safe, smooth journeys. What once relied on ropes and muscle has evolved into a force of mechanised maintenance — sweat and steel forging a modern Silk Road across the wilderness.

URUMQI — In the arid hinterlands of Northwest China, where barren expanses dominate the landscape, a high-tech greenhouse is defying local harsh conditions, producing vibrant greens and sweet strawberries year-round with minimal water and zero pesticides. The smart farm built last May in Kuqa of Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region with funding from Ningbo, Zhejiang province of East China, uses hydroponics and automated climate control to grow leafy greens and strawberries unaffected by the dry, dusty surroundings of the Taklimakan Desert, the world's second-largest shifting sand desert.

The planting season for growing cotton in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, China's primary cotton-producing hub, is expected to conclude this week.
