China has opened the world’s highest motorway tunnel on the Tibetan plateau after over 2,000 construction workers endured frigid temperatures, frequent floods and thin air over the four years and four months it took to build.

The new Mila Mountain Tunnel sits at an altitude of 4,750 metres (15,584 ft) above sea level in Southwest China's Tibet autonomous region.

The whole tunnel is 5.7 km (3.5 miles) long and it connects Tibet’s capital Lhasa with Nyingchi in the southeast of the region.

Construction of the tunnel started in 2015 on the 5,018-meter-high Mila Mountain, helping shorten the 18-km distance over the mountain to 5.7 km.

According to the Project Manager of the Mila Mountain Tunnel of the China Railway No. 2 Bureau,the new highway will also help boost tourism, industrial development and bring traffic convenience to local people.

Beautiful. Something worth commending.

Over here, it's either we're commissioning toilets, street lights, motor park or uncompleted projects.

This is wizardry in daylight.

The transformation of this once famine stricken country 2 decades back into a major super power is worth under studying .

Kudos!!

Just a question

Abeg na prayer China dey take do all this things ??

IF YES please then PMB should just urgently get the prayer point because I’m damn tired of seeing other countries progress while Nigeria is retrogressing

But IF NO may thunder fire all our leaders and anyone who says we should pray for Nigeria to be like China and the rest countries of the world

Started in 2015 and commissioned in 2019

In Nigeria, Lagos Ibadan express way has been awarded multiple times but yet to be completed after many years.

Second naija bridge pillars is taking decades to erect.

It takes a measure of stronger faith to drive through a mountain tunnel, especially.
Call it Faith in God or Technology, anyone
