CHINA Scared Whole World With Its New MEGAPROJECT! Top 20

China is the most populous country in the world home to nearly 1.5 billion people this country is known for its Rich history and culture as well as its incredible economic and technological development rates in this video you will be introduced to the most expensive and unique projects in China enjoy your watching over the last decade China has confidently emerged as a leader in renewable energy production hosting about 40% of the world's wind farms the largest wind farm in the world Gansu is also located in China this wind turbine complex is situated in the western part of Gansu Province on the outskirts of the GOI desert in 2023 the station generated just over 10 gaw of energy with an actual capacity of 7,965 MW a figure unmatched by any other wind Farm globally for comparison the second largest wind farm located in India can only generate 1.6 gaw however China plans to double the capacity of its complex by 2025 the construction of this facility was divided into several phases and is not yet complete to date the construction cost of the Gansu Wind Farm is about $32 billion US currently the complex Powers over 200,000 homes but its capacity could support many more more buildings the main challenge in fully utilizing wind farms is that many provinces continue to rely on coal in their Industries thus supporting coal mining companies however the Chinese government is gradually aiming to transition entirely to wind farms to improve the country's environmental conditions China strives to be a leading country in virtually everything and the tanan or Sky ey radio telescope located in gou province is further proof of this ambition the sky eye has a diameter of 500 M and an effective area of 196,000 square M setting a record among all radio telescopes globally the tanyan project began in 1994 when scientists seriously considered developing a unique radio telescope concept however the initial design stages only started in 2008 the construction of the telescope began in 2011 and lasted for 5 years the sky ey turned out to be a truly unique scientific project consisting of 4,450 triangular panels each 11 m in size the telescope's receiving antennas are placed on a highprecision Huish Stewart platform with the antenna positioning accuracy planned at 8 arccs with this telescope Chinese scientists have the opportunity to study not only the evolution and formation of galaxies but also to explore many distant celestial objects and solve an incredible number of scientific problems the construction and successful operation of tianyan have been a real sensation not only for China but for science as a whole the Shanghai Tower is the tallest skyscraper in China and the third tallest freestanding structure in the world surpassed only by the Burge Khalifa in Dubai and the Tokyo Sky Tree in Tokyo it is located in the pong District District on the East Bank of the hangu river in Shanghai the building is 632 M tall with a total area of 380,000 square m the decision to build the Tower was made in 1993 however it took 15 years to develop and approve the project the First Foundation element was laid in 2008 to strengthen the ground for such a large structure about a thousand foundation piles were installed to a depth of more than than 85 M and filled with concrete 6 M thick construction took 6 years and by the end of 2014 work on the interior began the exterior of the building was covered with more than 20,000 glass panels a distinctive feature of the building is its unique Twisted shape the tower was officially opened in February 2015 now the Shanghai Tower is a commercial and business complex that includes shops restaurants offices entertainment centers and Conference Halls on the ground floor there is a city museum with wax figures and an unusual interior reflecting the culture and lifestyle of Chinese residents the 118th floor of the tower hosts an observation deck offering a stunning view of one of the most populous cities in the world the exact construction cost of the Shanghai Tower is not disclosed but expert estimates range from3 to 4.5 billion US tan Fu airport is the second International Airport in chungu the capital of the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan it is located in the city of Lu Joo 50 km from the center of chungu plans to build a second airport in chungu emerged in 2007 at that time chungu had one airport opened 86 years ago gradually the population of the province began to in increase and the capacity of this airport was no longer sufficient the construction of a new modern Aviation complex would help solve this problem in 2011 the authorities began to choose a location for the new airport eventually they settled on the city of lujo the construction process of tianfu began in September 2015 and in 2021 it was opened to passengers currently the airport has three runways with two terminals designed to handle 60 million passengers a year however there are plans to build three more runways and two additional terminals in the future thus the airport's capacity will be doubled the construction of the second major International Airport in chungu made the city the third most important after Beijing and Shanghai undoubtedly this decision was correct as the population of the provincial capital of Sichuan now exceeds 20 million people the construction of viaducts which are bridge-like transport structures has been practiced since the times of ancient Rome even in such constructions China managed to stand out among other countries in the world the pride of this country is the Danang kunan Grand Bridge located in the eastern province of Jang Su between the cities of Shanghai and Nanjing I believe none of you will be surprised to hear that the viaduct has been recorded in the Guinness World Records as the the longest bridge in the world its total length is just over 164 km to cover this Distance by car at a speed of 90 km perh would take almost 2 hours now you can imagine how lengthy this Viaduct is if you thought that the construction of the bridge took an incredible amount of time you'd be mistaken Chinese Builders managed to erect such a massive structure in Just 2 years in 2011 the viaduct was opened and became part of the Beijing Shanghai High speed Railway the construction of the bridge required 2.5 million cubic M of concrete and about 500,000 tons of steel the total cost of constructing the viaduct was1 billion Beijing Capital International Airport also known as shodu is the largest in China and is located 20 kmet from Beijing its passenger traffic has averaged 100 million people per year in recent years shudu was inaugurated in 1958 becoming the country's first airport initially it was a small terminal serving only high ranking residents of the country over time the terminal became accessible to the rest of the population given China's large population a small terminal was insufficient for passenger service leading to a decision to gradually expand the airport's territory currently shudu comprises three terminals the first was opened in the early 1980s the 2 in November 1999 and the 3rd in March 2008 the latest terminal is the largest not only in China but also in the world Beijing Capital International Airport is now a source of national pride for China it has won numerous global awards and ranks among the world's best and safest airports the airport provides incredible comfort for its passengers and impresses with its unique starfish shaped design and modern infrastructure hongcha is a major hub for Intermodal passenger Transportation covering an area of over 1 million square meters it connects the Suburban districts of Chang ning and minhang with Shanghai and includes Shanghai hongcha International Airport the Shanghai hongcha inter city high-speed station three Subway Lines buses taxes and a magnetic levitation station thanks to this Hub residents and visitors of Shanghai have the opportunity to quickly and comfortably transfer from one mode of transport to another the opening of The Hub was an important event as Shanghai is a very densely populated city in the world hongcha airport alone can serve more than 40 million people a year the Hub is now designed for the daily movement of more than 1 million people with its help it is also possible to get from Beijing to Shanghai in Just 4 hours the idea of creating a large Transportation Hub originated in in 2005 a year later the Shanghai government created the Shanghai rainbow investment organization which began construction of the complex as part of the infrastructure plan for the World Expo construction work on the Hub was completed at the end of 2009 and it was opened for operation at the beginning of 2010 the hung Chow Hub has helped effectively solve shanghai's Transportation congestion problem so other cities in China such as hjo Guang Joo and Shenzhen have also started investing in the construction of similar hubs the guango Shenzhen Hong Kong high-speed Railway is part of the Transportation Hub connecting the Hong Kong city of Kon with mainland China the total length of the Railway is 142 km construction of the railway tracks for high-speed trains began in 2007 the railway was first put into operation in 2011 the railway territory is divided into two sections the first one the Guang shun section includes five stations located on Mainland China with a total length of 116 km it connects the cities of guango donguan and Shenzhen trains on this route can travel at speeds of up to 350 km per H the second section the Hong Kong section is located in Hong Kong and has one station hon its length is 26 km the main part of the section consists of underground tunnels despite numerous protests from Hong Kong residents related to the complex relationship with mainland China the Hong Kong government invested more than 8.5 billion in the construction of this Railway gradually this amount began to pay off as the line's capacity is 79,000 people daily currently there are at least 30 nuclear power plants operating in China and more than 20 are in the development stage huge amounts of money are spent on their construction and maintenance but nuclear power plants play an important economic role for the country the chin Shan nuclear power plant is located on the coast of the East China Sea in hayan County Jang Province interestingly another nuclear power plant Fang jashan is also located in close proximity to it construction of chinshan began in 1985 and lasted 6 years notably this power plant was the first to be built in China and it was also China's first independent nuclear project the design of the pressurized water two-loop reactor was undertaken by staff from the Shanghai nuclear engineering research and design Institute later similar reactors were supplied to Pakistan needless to say the successful launch and operation brought China an incredible sense of pride in its potential now the chinan nuclear power plant includes seven units its total capacity is 4,386 MW according to expert estimates the initial construction cost of the power plant was $3 Billion US in 2022 China once again surprised Everyone by introducing the world's first dual fuel suezmax LNG crude oil tanker the tanker was produced by guango Shipyard International according to the company The Vessel has a displacement of 158,000 tons and can operate on both natural gas and crude oil the ability to run on gas will significantly reduce harmful emissions into the environment the manufacturers also noted that the ship's main engine is powered by A high-press system that ensures complete combustion of liquefied natural gas this solution aims to help restore the country's ecology furthermore the manufacturers proposed to supply other countries with similar tankers in the future suezmax tankers are the largest ships that can fully load and pass through the Suez Canal these tankers typically have a width of 60 m a length of 330 M and their height does not exceed 68 M interestingly in 2022 China introduced not only this tanker but also several other remarkable developments in ship building the Three Gorges Dam a gravity Dam hydroelectric power station is located in Hub Province on the yangi river it is the most powerful hydroelectric power station in the world in 2020 during heavy rains its annual output reached a record8 billion KW moreover this structure is considered the largest in the world by mass the dam weighs over 65.5 million tons the idea of constructing the Three Gorges Dam was conceived in 19 1919 13 years later the Chinese government ordered the development of the future power stations project however the Sino Japanese war followed by the Civil War hindered the progress China returned to the project in the 1990s construction of the dam began in December 1994 and was completed in July 2012 this project was one of the most ambitious for the country with its cost estimated at $3.5 billion US initially it was expected that the hydro station would pay for itself within 10 years but surprisingly it recouped its costs Just 4 years after its commissioning in 2021 the largest planetarium in the World opened in the new lingang city pong District of Shanghai it's no wonder that tickets became almost impossible to obtain soon after its opening the museum became so popular among tourists and residents alike that its management had to limit the number of visitors to 5,000 per day by Advanced booking but what exactly Drew people to this Museum the primary reason lies in the planetarium size covering an area of 39,000 square m the museum premises include a giant 24 M solar telescope exhibition Halls research centers and a spherical theater moreover the Museum's structure represents a model of the universe this this unique Project's concept was presented by American architects who won the competition held by the Chinese government in 2014 the building has no straight lines everything is rounded and from above the planetarium resembles the planets of our universe the exhibits in the museum are incredibly unique including lunar soil samples meteorites original works by Newton Kepler and Galileo galile among other rare items related to astronomy the exact cost of this project remains unknown but I suspect it was as astronomical as its design floating stadiums are gradually gaining popularity in many countries around the world the most famous and largest among them is located in Singapore in Marina Bay with a capacity of 30,000 people however the Chinese government intends to break this record and build a floating stadium that will be much larger than Singapore War for a long time the projects proposed by modern Chinese Architects were kept secret however recently a model of the stadium developed as part of one of these projects appeared online this stadium is designed for more than 100,000 people it is expected to be used for competitions in many sports externally the stadium resembles a blooming lotus flower I think this form is chosen for a reason as the Lotus is a Divine flower it is associated with peace Purity and Harmony so far the details of the start of construction and the cost of this project remain unknown but I think this floating Stadium will not only be the largest in the world but also the most expensive the Bay panjang Bridge located at the border of the guanling and Ching long counties is part of the Shanghai Kunming Expressway this bridge stands out as it holds the title of the highest bridge in the world the astonishing suspension structure Rises 565 m above the ground offering fantastic views of the local landscape Travelers sometimes find themselves above the clouds while crossing this bridge earning it the nickname the road to the clouds tens of thousands of people worked on the design and construction of the bay Pon Jang Bridge despite the challenging landscape they succeeded in erecting a bridge that spans 1,341 M the initial construction phases began in 2011 but were paused for 2 years due to certain reasons construction resumed in 2013 and continued for 3 years the project cost approximately $150 million us today the bay Pon Jang bridge is popular among the residents of both counties before its construction traveling from one point to the other took about 5 hours now the journey takes no more than 1 hour the hangjo Bay Bridge is the third longest bridge in the world among those built over water bodies and it holds the record among all other transoceanic Bridges its length is just under 36 km this bridge is an important Transportation link connecting the cities of jaing and Ningbo the best Chinese and British Architects worked on the project for 10 years initially it was assumed that the Bridge would start from the Shanghai suburbs but protests arose regarding this and this point was moved to Jang Province the construction of the bridge began in June 2003 and lasted until May 2008 it is worth noting that the bridge was put into operation 2 years ahead of the scheduled date the hangjo Bay Bridge has helped to reduce the distance between Shanghai and Ningbo by 160 km moreover the construction of this structure served as a catalyst for the future inclusion of Ningbo and Northern J Jang into the greater Shanghai economic zone by the way the total investment cost in the construction of this bridge amounted to about 12 billion yen which was equivalent to 1.4 billion at the exchange rate in December 2004 Guang Joo bayun International Airport is located in the huadu district of guango its construction ruction was completed in August 2004 this airport replaced its namesake predecessor which was located within the city limits 12 km closer to the center than the new bayun in 2007 this International Airport became the second busiest in China serving over 30 million passengers when the Guang Joo authorities realized that this capacity was still insufficient they decided to modify the airport thus in 2009 the upgraded bayun was able to handle twice as many passengers the opening of the new modern airport solved the problem of the old one which due to its location within the city limits was unable to expand now bayun can operate flights Around the Clock thereby accommodating a huge number of people in 2020 due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection many airports around the world saw a decrease in passenger traffic the this allowed bayun airport to take the leading position in terms of the number of passengers for that year the construction cost of bayun airport was about 20 billion Wayne or more than $2.8 billion US the Beijing Shanghai high-speed Railway is the fastest among all Railways in the world with trains reaching speeds of up to 380 km perh the railway spans 1,318 km connecting two two of China's main economic zones the bohai bay and the yangi River delta this Railway allows people to travel from Beijing to Shanghai in Just 4 hours construction began in April 2008 and was completed in just over 2.5 years an incredibly Fast Pace considering the scale of the project with more than 135,000 people involved in the construction today the line is not only the fastest but also one of the busiest in the world with a daily passenger flow of 220,000 during peak hours trains depart every 3 minutes the Beijing Shanghai line runs parallel to an older Railway and passes through 21 cities includes 244 Bridges and features the world's longest bridge the danyang kunshan grand Bridge which spans 164 km along with 22 tunnels totaling 16 km in length the construction of the Beijing Shanghai high-speed Railway cost $33 billion the Beijing South Railway Station is considered the second largest railway station in Asia covering an area of 320,000 square m the station features 24 platforms for trains the history of the South Railway Station began in 1897 at that time there was a regular railway station with a small terminal in this place the area remained like this until 2006 then in anticipation of the upcoming Olympics the Chinese authorities decided to build the largest railway complex the project was developed by Architects from the British company tfp ferals and tanin University the South Station was opened on August 1st 2008 it impressed not only with its size but also with its unusual design and internal infrastructure the building is shaped like an ancient Marine arthropod a trilobit inside the station there are many shops and restaurants as well as common and VIP waiting rooms so while waiting for a train one can go shopping or relax in comfortable Lounge areas the Beijing South Station is a very costly project more than 60,000 tons of steel and almost 500,000 tons of concrete were used in its construction at least 4,000 people participated in the construction now with its 24 platforms the station is capable of serving up to 30,000 passengers per hour these scales are truly impressive Beijing Capital International Airport is located 20 km from the center of Beijing it is the largest airport in China and the second busiest in the world in terms of Passenger traffic the airport consists of three terminals with the largest being the thir also known as the dragon terminal it opened in February 2008 the total area of the terminal is 9986000 s m making it one of the largest airport complexes in the world second only to the third terminal of Dubai International Airport today the terminal serves as the main base for representatives of Aviation alliances such as Air China One World and Star Alliance the third terminal consists of the main terminal two satellites and Seven Levels two of which are underground additionally the terminal featur Advanced infrastructure it houses an underground parking lot with 2,000 spaces mother and child rooms rooms for disabled individuals over 200 devices for easy building navigation baggage handling and security systems shops restaurants and much more the construction cost of this terminal in 2008 was over 3.5 billion US Jung Joo East is the largest station in all of China it is located near the new business district of jungdong in Hanan Province construction of the station began in June 2009 and lasted until September 2012 that same year high-speed train lines to Beijing were put into operation now it is possible to travel from the station to the western part of the Chinese capital in just 2.5 hours in 2013 the station was connected to the city's Metro System a a year later the Jung Joo kaiun inter city Railway was opened on the station's premises the most significant development for the East station was the construction of the high-speed railway from Beijing to Hong Kong now residents and visitors of Jung Joo can travel to West cowon in Hong Kong on a high-speed train in just 6.5 hours the East station covers an area of 350,000 square m it has 32 tracks and 30 platforms just imagine how huge this station is by the way its construction cost 4 billion un which at the latest exchange rate is equivalent to more than $555 million us the sujo industrial park is a joint project between China and Singapore the park is located in the Chinese city of sujo jangu Province covering an area of 278 Square km the foundation of this industrial Zone began in 1992 at that time China's former supreme leader dang Xiao ping was inspired by Singapore's infrastructure development and decided to utilize the City State's experience after lengthy discussions representatives of both governments decided to create a unified industrial project sujo was chosen as the construction site due to its proximity to shanghai's financial center thus in February 1994 the sujo park was established in initially only 35% of the shares were owned by China while the Singapore government controlled the remaining 65% over time Singapore gradually sold its shares considering sujo an economically unattractive area by 1999 the park was indeed running at a loss of more than 23.5 million us however unlike Singapore China continued to believe in the project focusing on selling apartments in Scenic locations and attracting major investors these hopes were Justified despite initial setbacks by 2019 more than 25,000 companies were operating within the industrial park and the volume of foreign trade exceeded $1 trillion us thus with the sujo park China once again demonstrated its economic Acumen and power and that's all from me
