The World’s LONGEST Desert Highway (544KM) I S2, EP105



The World’s LONGEST Desert Highway (544KM) I S2, EP105

I am finally travelling on the world’s longest desert highway which stretches about 544 km through the middle of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang Province. The highway is impeccable and the surrounding desert pristine. The highway is in one of the least inhabited regions of China and is being maintained every 4 km by someone who lives there throughout the year to take care of the highway. It’s fascinating how this piece of infrastructure is being kept alive by a very few people.
I eventually moved on to Tazhong a small oil village in the desert.
Join me on this adventure through the world’s longest desert highway 🎬

    British Isle of Man TT Racer and truck mechanic holds the world record for cycling across the Taklamakan Desert in 28 hours 17 minutes! It would have been quicker but the authorities at the start paraded him around the city first before he actually properly set off into the desert itself.

    This is so incredible. Things that the rest of the world may not be aware of. China is so vast and they're actually trying their best at managing the country. Thanks, Yan.

    The wheatgrass grids are so impressive!! Can't imagine how large scale of an operation it must have been >.< It's really fascinating!

    I’m an avid follower of all your video uploads! Lately, I’ve noticed the background music in your drone footage is a bit too loud. I find myself lowering the volume every time the stunning drone scenery appears. Just a friendly note for an even better viewing experience!

    "It's interesting to hear about the people who live every 4km to maintain this road. Have you had the chance to speak to any of them? It sounds like their lives have an interesting story to tell!"……….."Taklamakan is known as the 'Sea of ​​Death', but seeing how diligently it is maintained is truly inspiring. Your journey reminds us of the human ability to adapt and survive even in the harshest environments."…Thank 4 the best video stories about all the remote area…marvelous…I hope some day me and my family can visiting this area….

    THESE yellow trees growing in such desert alkaline barren soil just look like brilliant gold,,,,, what a tough and adaptable living species in harsh environment,,, the appearance of these trees look similar to california cottonwood tree in which is deciduous. their leaves turn golden yellow in autumn and fall off quickly in early winter —-the month of mid October,,

    8 months not a single day off:) must be so only, I wonder how are workers compensated for their 8-month assignments, and what benefits (such as insurance, vacation, or bonuses) are provided? Are workers free to leave or terminate their contracts? I love how you can find kind generous people everywhere you go. Lovely video as always
