China’s Proposal for a Bohai Strait Tunnel
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 11. 2020
- China is considering constructing a $45 billion tunnel across the Bohai strait, connecting the cities of Dalian and Yantai in northeast China. The mega-project would be the longest undersea connection ever, drastically transforming the regional economies and nationwide transportation routes. It comes with many benefits but also has many issues including cost, feasibility and environmental effects. The Chinese government started the project in 2014, but has faced many delays. As of 2020, it is unsure whether China is still actively pursuing the proposal.

China’s engineering marvels are under appreciated. For example, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge is an insane network connecting the metropolises on both sides of the Pearl River delta which is home to over 100 million.
what’s wild about that bridge though is basically no one uses it because of the fast jet ferries, i lived in hk for a bit last year and i had a friend who went to macau basically every weekend and she only caught the bus once because it was more of a pain than the ferry
China engineering is very great. I think it surpass even US and Europe.
In the mean time Indians are competing with china who cannot make anything only imports. They even imports engineer to constructs their project.
China have 100 km long tunnels while india make one 9km long tunnel with foreign help and think they are superior to China.
@Sekuan Kuanse lol
@Sekuan Kuanse stop comparing ur country which have no significance in this world with the geopolitical powerhouse like india.
@Ashwin Kumar S What is your address?
Idk why but I love these underwater tunnel videos. There’s something so cool about knowing you could drive through an entire sea
Would they make it transparent too?
@@klaassart second that !!! Tunnel that doubles as an aquarium !
In a train okay. In road traffic, no way. Road tunnel safety is so much less secure, so many individual vehicles, running on gas
I think they would do it. Just wait for it. Since I saw the construction of honk Kong and Macau project .
They bridge is massively underly ultilised and is turning out to be a white elephant
@@vinniechan after I watched this. I looked up at the project. They are working in it right now. Started construction
@@vinniechan czcams.com/video/G6g2bxupd-c/video.html
@@matubalfaisal2600 this tunnel actually makes a lot more sense then the Hong Kong Zhu hai Macau bridge as it bridges two major population centre with millions of people and cut the journey short.
Not to mention it can bypass roads with two other major cities in the way this leviate a lot of back log traffic
@@vinniechan for honk Kong was politically than beneficial. They want to break the honk Kong idea as separated from China mainland. But this tunnel is really tougher in construction because it cross a a shipping lane. The depth changed everything.
This channel is so underrated
Can't wait.. now it's a pain in the ass trying to go from Dalian to Qingdao...
I agree, I lived in maid in Qingdao for several years. Qingdao is a brilliant city.
Can’t agree more
Just fly.
@@rfimor what if he needs to go work ealry not enough time to book a flight and delays are common
I’m proud, my home city and birth city are both given spotlight here :> I’m Tianjinese and I was born in Dalian. Super proud to see this project take place!
Bro what happened to the yujiapu new district project in tianjing?
Nothing to be proud about China
@@1066andallthat what a moronic statement, you must live in the US
@@coolcommiedrew5990 No I dont. Most countries consider China a threat, your country is goverend by a criminal organization that enslaves millions of its own people and practices horrendous crimes such as forced organ harvesting from political prisoners. You should be ashamed of your country
@@1066andallthat Typical brain washed mind
Obviously advantageous to have a straight-through tunnel. It might be a good idea to plant detectors in order to estimate probable shearing forces due to area seismic activities before commencing the project. Truly a wonderful engineering challenge.
Also the China is plan to build
Excellent!
Especially if it comes out on the headland west of Yantai.
They could build a bit of a cloverleaf to Yantai, Tianjin, and the straight-away down to Qingtao.
Tunnel to Taiwan, yeah, sure.
He said nothing about Taiwan..... ummmm did you even pay attention?
Taiwan belongs to Korea.
@@taiwan6691 only claim that would be valid is if Korea admits that they are still under the Japanese empire.
@@Brwnsugar You are not listening, at 5:40 Taiwan gets mentioned.

This is such an amazing video keep it up and you will have millions of subscribers well done
This videos that you put out are high quality keep up the great work
Sooner we might able driving to Japan from Singapore
Korean Japan tunnel needs to be build. Then North Korean South Korean DMZ needs to be dismantled and roads build. Sounds very tough to do.
4:56 You forgot that Mongolia is independent, not a part of Russia
Shame they’re not building a tunnel to us
Well, ask them!
I heard Moon Jae In has been busy digging tunnels just outside Pyongyang, not sure where's he heading though....
Shame on u

When the Channel Tunnel was built it was thought the tunnel would kill the Ferry Traffic. IT DID'NT! The ferries tried very hard to keep customers by becoming a mini cruise, effectively a place to rest on a long journey. Yes you can catch the Literal Train and be through the Tunnel in 30 Minutes. The last time I took the ferries across the channel 8 years ago it was PACKED with Holiday Makers and the Usual Wagon Drivers. That SLOWNESS as you call it becomes and advantage as drivers are still moving but resting. That's the reason I took the ferry. Also I forgot the Mutant Cod I had on my Lunch Plate. Delicious!! ;)
I lived in Qingdao for several years. The Dalien train ferry was the only way to get to the other side of the Bohai sea except for flying. It takes an hour to cross the strait to Seoul by air, but the train tunnel would keep the destination in China and most freight enters N Korea at the Bridge of No Return.
You have any information on the road tunnel between the Xiaoyang island south of Shanghai and the Fushi island close to Zhoushan?
I like listening to these analysis by Futurology, about the extent governments are pushing themselves. These are very balanced videos containing points about the challenges, pros, cons and strength, that they are focused around.
Excellent video. Answered all the questions I had. The 12 year payback seems way off. Maybe 120 years?
There would also need to be a major upgrade of the railway connections on either side of the tunnel, adding to the cost.
I hope this will be constructed! It will serve not only as a key transportation link for China, but will push the frontier of what is possible in other regions of the world. For example, a Japan-Korea tunnel would be of similar length. Philippines and Indonesia could start thinking about linking their major islands together via rail tunnels. In the future, there can even be tunnels under the Bab al- Mandab Strait or under the Strait of Hormuz. The possibilities are endless.
It' so refreshing (and rare) to see an unbiased piece of work on CZcams. Good work!
That in China for in restruction apply the standard amount $19, 645, 254, 452, 002, 646, 375 per days in tunnel by long way not will be less expensive can insured to use as current or by the disclosures required.
This is a very informative video, thanks! I find the background music a bit loud though, its difficult to hear you.
I think this aught to go ahead.
But through the islands, but completely underground.
With regard to the Environmental considerations, with the right steps in conservation, of the area, and only allowing ventilation shafts, the Islands will soon recover, and might even benefit from this project.
Imagine there are all sorts of sea animals swimming around the tunnel, and essentially your cars, how fascinating is that lol
Fan of your content 😀😀
I soooo love this channel for relaxation
Your voice is great and i love future projects in Countries
Your actually the only channel on YT i watch for future country projects cuz the rest goes not that deep info
Ambitious project
Stunning beautifu bridges.
it would be a lot cheaper & faster to build bridges connecting those islands & erect a few artificial islands with more bridges to connect across the entire strait. That will also mitigate environmental impact as more wildlife & plant life will populate the new islands.
How did you get Kermit, to do the voice over ?
I am in Dalian now. They already start the make the collateral infrastructure for this project. Highways almost end to nowhere now. And train line infrastructure also same. Just need te tunnel The preparations are I full swing in fact. Tunnel boring machines some parts will come from Sichuan on othe project now .....it’s all in the plan
Is there any construction going on?

re the enthusiastic popping up of graphic symbols to enhance the narration .. near the end when the narrator said "feat of engineering" i expected a graphic of a pair of feet to appear on the screen.
They need to build a double tunnel. A tunnel inside a tunnel in order to protect against seismic wave against tunnel. The outer tunnel can crack which will leave the inner tunnel safe.
Good one here
Nicely presented
"it would be a ... ... ... Feat of Engineering" Always love that bit, always sounds like Hugo Weaving is doing the narration
China's putting those slave labor dollars to work, I see. Who needs democracy when you can just do this instead?
China is pretty rich now though this would still be really expensive. Though that mayor was super bold to suggest this in1992.
Nice video.
Good job💪
As the impetus of growth through seaway connectivity accelerates, here we go with the least efficient examples of landward transport.
It is supposed to build an underwater railroad tunnel to be a minimum of 65 km and a maximum of 6,500 km. Do not build those rail tunnels along the MARATHON RUN (approx. 10 - 60 km). The regulations for the railroad tunnel project have been regulated in the UIC and IRJ books in 2013
Great experiment
Eu Dudu Shema diretamente de Jequié BAHIA brazil curtiu ESSE VÍDEO.
Isn't using ship and bridge safer than using undersea tunnel?
nice content
great project
It's so cool.This project is so fantastic
Why don’t they build a causeway across the shallow water and use tidal differences to generate electricity?
Shipping can be handled by locks and wildlife may benefit from reduction of ships crossing the bay.
The bay is not suitable for large ocean shipping anyway and a port can also be build outside the bay like the Yangshan port in Shanghai.
Beautiful.
What China has achieved in the last twenty years which is something that's unheard of anywhere else in the world .
Come on , you know it's TRUE
Welcome to the undisputed era and a better tomorrow

@@nanahuang8623 Oh pls every country has wife beaters. And it's also the same everywhere else they're afraid to report it.
Just Awesome. If any achievement is awesome it is what the DUCH achieved, a small country in area size and population in comparison to China.
8 hour ferry for 100 km? That's very slow. The ~50 km Rostock-Gedser ferry does its crossing in 2 hours.
In the regulations of the International Rail Transport Committee (CIT) and the International Union of Railways (UIC) that the length of the railroad tunnel to be built must be adjusted to the type of train that passes through the tunnel. Long list of railway tunnels according to regulations from UIC and CIT in 2013 ago:
1. Steam train (min. 10 km to 60 km)
2. Diesel rail train (min. 30 km - 400 km)
3. Normal speed electric train (60 - 160 km/h (min. 40 - 450)
4. Semi-fast electric train (160 - 350 km/h) medium to high speed (min. 50 km - 2,500 km)
4. High speed electric train (fast train) about 350 - 560 km/h (min. 60 - 3,500 km)
5. High-end super-fast train (maglev/hyperloop train) (min. 70 - 5,200 km and above)
@@madenaraputra6887 Mark my words, a full scale hyperloop will never be built.
4:00 this kind of tunnel is inhospitable to road traffic, full of lightly trained drivers in individually guided vehicles
Makes Senses
cool
The 114 km option is better for the ease of building it, but yeah, the environment is important
This is one project that seems like a great idea
4:30 Most of China's main line freight is electrified, the main cost reductions would probably be freeing up labour from the reduced travel time
Please do one on the Russia - Sakhalin - Hokkaido tunnel plan.. By the way love your videos 💕
Nothing in Sakhalin for people to Hokkaido to go too that warrants an actual tunnel though.
I only liked because of the way he said “amaazing”
Ok
I got a problem, what if the hyperloop technology success?
That is a solution, not a problem.
They already made the longest transoceanic bridge
👍
why dam is not a serious option here like the afsluiting Dijk in the Netherlands ?
I'm assuming, because there's too much shipping in the strait
Interesting.
Hey dude!
We're know that Qatar has World Cup 2022
But to tell you the other subject..... there is something called 27th men handball world Championship, which is The World Cup of Handball (I guess). that thing will be in Egypt. and it's called "Egypt 2021"
You can check it out on google or the official webite (or IHF)
You're too underrated
This comment too.... 😉
Wow 105 km
They got lucky with the depts
"As soon as possible" means nothing until you have an actual start date and money flowing. Until then, it might as well mean "Well, we'll think about it again someday."
Strategically speaking, it is more urgent to build tunnels to Hainan and Taiwan than to build this one. I guess this will be the last mega-channel tunnel for China to build.
how good idea
i'm think china could enough possible to connecting both peninsula
to construct a undersea tunnel in a short period
Imagine considering the environment and ferry jobs as an obstacle 🤣 I just hope this is possible and they make it.
They get new job from putian to Taipe
with 384 million people in the region sk should want to build its own tunnel since it hasnt got direct access to the worlds biggest market because off nk
China's amazing country👍
I’m dead when the project is over. I’m rooting for it.
This also makes more economic sense than the HK-Zhuhai-Macau bridge
Huge TECHnical achievements are associated with narratives set in concrete!
reupload with no music, thanks
Be enough bored earth to make a couple of new islands in the South China Sea to go with their collection down there.
Islands are easy enough to make when you have free slave labor
1990s does not need an apostrophe.
very good ideas your welcome China

Its not about the environment or safety hazards etc etc. its all about fundings. This needs billion dollar project and at times of Covid19. Project likely postponed. But at least it shows what humans can do to better the world, this is what we need for the future.
Might as well since price will go up
Unfortunately this tunnel is no

Just average dept 25m? Why not build dam around it as well?
@ Dr. Woozie : "insane"? i am just more interested in your choosing this adjective... what's really insane and rediculous is ordinary citizens' passenger cars (99% out of total) are not allowed to travel on this multi-billion Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge. Only a handful priviledged cadres' with special licenses can, totally defeating the purpose of the bridge. Whilst one can drive without hinderance between US-Canada or Singapore-Malaysia etc... it is absulotely absurd under so called 1 country 2 system, 99% hong kong cars can not cross borders into mainland china and v.v. WTF?!!!!
👍👍👍👍
It sounds like a crazy idea, but fortunately, the location of the tunnel won't be as daunting to build as the Seikan Tunnel, which had to deal with major undersea soil issues during construction.
I don’t get it, over 100km tunnel is supposed to be a 40min car ride?
200km/h trains.
A man made island at the 43 km stretch would be a good idea ?
That tunnel is so big it can be seen from space. Wait. What?
How much demand is there really for people in Shandong to drive to Liaoning and vice versa? Or if you really want to drive to Manchuria and vice versa, you already have to spend many hours, so what difference will Tianjin traffic make really?
build it and they will come ;p
