China, as one of the world's countries with a long history, has been famous for its remarkable infrastructure construction capacity since ancient times.

Emerging at an unprecedented rate in recent years, China has become the focus of global attention. From the "Sky Eye" exploring the depths of space to the "Jiaolong" submersible exploring the depths of the ocean, from high-speed rail to the widespread coverage of 5G networks, each achievement highlights the speed and power of China.

And now, a bolder idea is brewing—to resurrect a grand project conceived 140 years ago, one that rivals the Three Gorges Dam fivefold in scale.

This concept has not only attracted widespread attention in China, but has also astonished the foreign media, which has been full of praise, saying "China is amazing!"

China's rapid development has drawn worldwide attention. From the establishment of special economic zones to the promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative, from the achievements in targeted poverty alleviation to the breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation, every step has been steady and vigorous.

Against such a backdrop, the grand vision that was shelved 140 years ago was mentioned again, not merely as a tribute to the past, but also as an aspiration for the future.

This idea is the "Diverting Water into Xinjiang". It aims to transport water resources from the abundantly watered Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "Water Tower of the World", to Xinjiang, thousands of miles away.

Xinjiang, a vast region that accounts for one-sixth of China's land area, has long been plagued by water shortages. This has not only constrained local economic and social development, but also put a great deal of pressure on the ecological environment.

Therefore, "Hiding Water to Access Frontier" is not only a water conservancy project, but also an ecological project, a strategic project concerning the national development space.

After all, this project is unprecedented in difficulty. It not only involves complex topography and geomorphology and changeable climate conditions, but also requires huge capital investment and hard technical challenges.

From the water inlet of the Yarlung Zangbo River to Kashi in Xinjiang, along the 6188-kilometer water transmission line, it is necessary to cross multiple geological active zones and overcome huge altitude differences, making it almost impossible for natural runoff.

Moreover, the water supply for Xinjiang still requires overcoming the construction issue of multiple routes, each route is a strict test on funding and technology.

Despite this, the concept of "diversion of water from Tibet to Xinjiang" has still been put on the agenda. It not only demonstrates the determination and courage of the Chinese in solving the imbalance between the ecology and development, but also highlights the powerful strength and innovative ability of China in the field of infrastructure construction.

The success of the project will revolutionize Xinjiang and even the whole northwest of China, and it will bring new vitality for the sustainable development of the country.
