One of the 100 water well and pum station built in every 5 km apart through this 522km road to save the green line beside the road to prect it from sand
为了保护公路两边的植被，长522公里的塔里木公路每隔5公里就建一个水泵站，总共有100个，这是其中一个水泵站。
The zing Dunes of Taklkan, be it size, shape, colors, textures, grandeur it would keep zing you:
塔克拉玛干沙漠令人惊奇的沙丘，不管是规模、形状、颜色、纹理还是壮观程度，她总是让你惊奇。
The famous Tarim Highway crossing the mighty Taklkan Desert - Ne the Green Belt in 3 rows in each side of the road to prect it from shifting sand of fiercest Desert - This is a pleasure to drive deep into a 522 km pure desert highway!!
著名的塔里木公路穿过浩瀚的塔克拉玛干沙漠。注意公路两边用于保护公路免遭移动沙漠威胁的3条植被带。开车深入沙漠公路522公里是一件高兴事。
No wonder when Salman Khurshid said Beig is better.
Hats off to the genuine hard work and commitment to achieve goals irrespective of all odds.
The Pass that we dug tunnels across was Jawahar tunnel in 1960s after that I only see Rohtang tunnel (am not sure if there are any more) which was conceived in 1983, Announced by Atalji in 2003, work began in 2010, till June 2012 3.5km completed likely completion 2016 Don't get surprised if it gets extensions by 4 more years. So since 1983 to 2013 the net progress is say 5 kms leave the circumstances aside this is the pace at which we progress in four decades VS 500kms of road in desert in just 4 years. Is there any comparison? We fail faaaaar behind.
Now I leave the comparison of Qinghai–Tib railway to our Jammu Srinagar railway to you only.
难怪印度外长萨尔曼库尔希德说北京更宜居
向克服各种困难，为实现这一目标而付出极大努力和奉献精神的人致敬。
1960年代开始，我们开始挖贾瓦哈隧道。后来我只看到1983年构想的罗唐关口隧道（Rohtang tunnel），由Atalji于2003年宣布，2010年开始动工，到2012年6月只挖了3.5公里，可能2016年完工。如果工期推迟4年，那么别意外。
也就是说，从1983年到2013年，进展只有比如说大约5公里。不考虑环境，我们在40年取得的速度对比中国500公里沙漠公路只用4年就修好。
这还用比吗？我们远远落后了。
现在，把青藏铁路与查莫斯利那加铁路留给你们对比吧
kshil
Spot on!!! Will come out with details of the modern day engineering marvel of Qinghai - Tib Railway
完全正确。我将详细介绍现代工程奇迹——青藏铁路
Scary desert. To imagine how this was traversed on foot gives me goosebumps.
可怕的沙漠！想象一下，要是徒步穿过沙漠，我的鸡皮疙瘩会起来。
Scary one, I'm imagining myself on the top of one sand dune & 360 degree around there's no other life In fact no other color except yellow... Ahhhnnn... I should better get out of my day dream now
Anyway is the highway full of cars every time? What happens if your car breaks down and you get exactly stuck in the middle?
要是我站在其中一个沙丘上，星期围没有任何生命迹象，全是黄色的沙子...想想就可怕。我最好还是别做白日梦了。
好吧，公路上是否每时每刻塞满车？要是你的车半路上抛锚，那怎么办？
I was of view that population density in china would be similar to us, but the area till now seems sparsely populated.
Seeing the beautiful and maintained roads and lanes in many international logs on BCMT I start wandering when we can get decent clean and clutter free roads and lanes in India .
A distant dream it seems.
我还以为中国人口密度跟我们差不多，可是这个地方人烟稀少啊
看到本坛很多国际旅游日志上保养不错的漂亮公路，我开始纳闷，我们到底什么时候才会有如此整洁干净的平坦公路。
这似乎是一个遥远的梦想
Kaushik Da..hats off to you. Its really a dream come true and what an effort you have put down in gathering the details while planning the trip. Simply zing!
I just returned from my family trip to Gujarat and I was think really proud of the plan we chalked out and at its successful execution, but seeing your effort now I am feeling nowhere
kshil，向你致敬。这就是梦想成真。你规划旅行的同时收集这些细节，为此付出了极大努力。太不可思议了！
我刚从古吉拉特邦的一次家庭旅行回来。我原来还为此行感到自豪的，看了你的努力后，就觉得不算什么了。
Wow.... beautiful road.....
哇，好漂亮的公路
Wow the dessert road is a marvel.
哇，沙漠公路是一个奇迹
Simply zed by the highway they have built.
他们修建的沙漠公路让我吃惊啦
