Workers are building only the third paved artery through the Taklimakan Desert to help people and products move more freely

Five bulldozers were working on the side of a 9-meter-high dune. In one of them sat Zhang Xiaodong, his cab swirling with sand. Fine dust had collected in the lines of his sweaty face.

The construction team is building a new road through the Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in China, covering 337,000 square kilometers in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

When it is finished, the road will connect the counties of Qiemo in the north and Yuli in the south, becoming only the third paved artery through the vast expanse known as the "sea of death". In the Uygur language, Taklimakan translates as "go in and you won't come out".

Zhang, 47, came to work in Xinjiang 30 years ago. He cut his teeth on the roads built to transport the region's oil products.

Maneuvering the bulldozer to compress sand and create the road's surface is second nature to Zhang. He said the job comes with a healthy paycheck but also involves extreme heat, limited water, poor access to electricity, and a bad phone signal - not to mention sandstorms.

"I'm from Sichuan province, a place with green hills and clean water. But I've spent most of my life in the sand," he said. As well as Xinjiang, Zhang has worked in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Buckets, for water storage, are a daily essential for living in the desert. Xinhua

There are a lot of couples in this team, which explains the good teamwork. The men carry up to 70 kilograms of reeds onto the dunes, the women lay the reeds on the sand, and then the men drive the dried reeds into the sand.

Zhang Yong’an, 63, and his family members have spent five years and more than one million yuan ($145,000) building a ‘train kingdom' in their 330-sqm home garden in Wenjiang District, Chengdu City, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province. A great fan of train models from an early age, Zhang has tried his best to present every part of a real railway station with vivid models, including train lights, tunnels, passengers, platforms, freight trains and passenger trains. When it rains, Zhang drives all the trains indoors by remote control. (Photo: China News Service/Wu Pinghua)
