- How did China turn a desert into an oasis? Did they really flood the place?
I travelled to Kubuqi Desert in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, to find out how a place once known as the Sea of Death is known covered in lakes and rivers.
And of course, whilst in the desert I absolutely had to try out some of the local desert cuisine, which just so happened to be desert crabs. Yes! Crabs in the desert!
And whilst appreciating the beauty of Kubuqi Desert, I also found time to fit in some rather terrifying desert adventure tourism.

I came to China since 1998. I have the privilege to witness the changes in the country for 24 years. The environmental transformation in China has been spectacular.
That's why the West and Asian rivals spearheaded by the US come out with the China threat narrative. Lol.
BOT ALERT!
God bless the Chinese and Thank God for the hard work of Chinese!

I am from north west China. People from my hometown have transformed our desert into bush land after 30 years of united efforts!
Gansu province?
I'd have to say the Chinese are really good at terraforming. Leasons learned here could be useful for mankinds adventures into the unknown planets of our universe.
Such ingenuity deserves recognition.
Something they should share with the developing world!
When it's China, it''s not recognised.
Thanks to you more people are educated, jiayou!!
@@pahatpahat9566 In fact I think they are sharing it in African continent.
After the return of the Chinese lunar probe, all civilians only care about whether the lunar soil can grow vegetables？
This is only a basic question.....
Amazing, China diverted the excess water to avoid flooding downstream to enable the dessert to be rejuvenated. It is like God has designed it in such a way the solution is waiting for humans to be discovered. This should be nominated for some global award.
The Greenies would ever allow it in Australia . They are anti development .
As long as we work with nature rather than against it, we can generate much prosperity. 🙌
The western people only treat China with ctriticism but no awards
Just add one thing, The government left a small portion of desert for local tourism industry
U lost me at God
These require 20 or 30 years of hard work, and Americans who are used to making money in one second in stocks will not learn it.
Wow, now that is super impressive! I love China, it’s people and the great things they are doing!
Amazing. Good news for the deserts of the world as they can also be transformed.
The bad news: it will take 30 years of effective government and hardworking people. It's tough for a 4-year election
I mean, there are probably more productive uses for resources. This desert got lucky for being so close to a river and major population center to give the project money and political will. Hard to do this in the Gobi desert. Harder to even get people interested
Great Effort of China. Spectacular.
With my limited knowledge of Chinese history, even I have noticed that the Chinese have always been great with innovations and super creative (with extreme limited resources) in problems solving. They have been doing that for thousands of years. Bravo!!!!
Seafood in the middle of the desert.
You just blew my mind.👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩
Spring flood water is diverted from Yellow River to the desert. Win win
Only china can achieve THIS kind things
拍多点这类的视频，超喜欢看。
I like that you have english subs to reach the western audience. I wish more western youtubers realise that it's the west that needs to be aware of the real China.
Unfortunately, too many still prefer to live in their self-satisfied ignorance.
Unfortunately, they don’t watch! Ha..........
hes... speaking english... at best he's reaching deaf people 😂
Wouldn’t the “real china” be the average life of average people? You wouldn’t say that the “real” any country is it’s natural wonders, tourist spots, or rare sights.
@@yucol5661 agreed, I agree with that average people in china aren't doing so hot. Not to say the standard of living is bad it's just not amazing lol. Our food is good tho!
really love your videos! amazing content and a lot of real view of China. Great appreciate!
9:35 The dune buggies look fun, but that cart vehicle looks even more so! Being much higher off the ground than if one were in a dune buggy would make every bit of travel over uneven terrain terrifyingly thrilling~
So apparently if you sit at the front of that bus like vehicle (as I did) it's just a drive around. If you sit towards the back, you get the full feel of the dunes and its much more fun. Must be something to do with sitting on the back axle.
CZcams algorithm must be broken, why is a China positive video showing in my feed 🤣
Amazing projects in China ….👍
XIjinping wakes up in the morning everyday and says casually mind you YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET !!! and I emphasize again he says it casually 🤗🤗
Thank U So Much STU for showcasing the KUBUQI OASIS to us.
Your video is AMAZING.
Your MANDARIN skills is Ultra AWESOME.
Your STORY Telling skills is Ultra FANTASTIC.
Your Example in Taking CARE of your Parents are MARVELOUS.
There is No--Doubt, the EARTH + the UNIVERSE have been blessed by your present.
真心觉得要让我这里环保青年德国的“最后一代”全体去沙漠种树 这样他们有意义的事做 不用常常没事干拿胶水把自己手粘公路拦车搞破坏。
对
德国的howdareyou小女孩每天鬼哄鬼叫却没实际动作
中国没说太多，直接就干了才叫正真的环保
@@angchianming 那是瑞典的
我不认同上面两位的观点，环保应该各司其职，瑞典女孩虽然有些激进，但确实唤醒了更多人对环保的重视，这点我觉得光靠多种一棵树是做不到的，侧面来说，她的行为比种树跟重要，因为目前气候升温是全球性问题，光靠瑞典等欧洲国家去种树也起不到作用，要政客下决心割肉断腕更重要，从基层倒逼他们确实更有用。
So much Content in your Videos Young Man..
Thank you Jenny.
There are a lot of lives, a little less because I've just eaten some....Hahaha, love your humor!
Love your content and presentation. Keep up the good work!
Your command of the Putonghua is really admirable!
Amazing, I wouldn't believe it, but it's true 👏🍀🙏
What an incredible feat of engineering. Thanks for sharing this video.
Glad you enjoyed it Craig!
Great video！Will love to go there having some fun someday!
I went to central Xinjiang, lop nor and bosten lake region. the transformation there has been just as dramatic, with lakes returning to Lop Nor and Bosten lake's water level has been rising every single year.
Hi Stu from Stu, Im glad to say that one of those small little tree was planted from my donation! I am proud of that!
Thanks Stu
witness the beauty and tell the truth. thanks for the video
I see you increased your video quality, I'll be subscribing waiting for more of your adventures!
Love this one!
thanks for showing so many wonder works done never covered by western medias I am living in N.America for the past 60 year and wish that I still have time to go back and see at least one of the wonders
Love your videos mate! As does my wife, who doesn't speak English. Let us know if you're anywhere near Changchun.
Thanks Robin. How is Changchun? I've never been there. Say hello to your wife for me
Dude Awesome video! Locals, food, attractions, rides, wild or domesticated livestock,.
Very very interesting! Wish you do (3) 20 min. Videos. Your video has show a lot of over all depth than others I had seen. Crabs looks so delicious!!!
I've got lots more videos. Hope you enjoy them
China is admirable. Everything is developing so fast.
dry weather and water, a perfect match
The desert is below the river water level, making it possible for flooding....
With water diverted from the south, more can be flooded !
这期视频非常棒！怎么说呢，非常有戏剧感！
Fantastic China👍❤️👏👌
Your Mandarin pronunciation is so good.
凑合
excellence !👍🏻
You have yet again shown us another amazing & fun place in China! I do appreciate the bits of humour peppered through your presentation :) With international borders still closed to regular tourists, thankyou so much for letting me experience China vicariously through your videos!
If Bubu and Han mei mei could eat the crabs with you would be great.
Wow, a lot of bots
Saving lifes n greening the desert ....👍👍
super loved to watch this kind of video
Amazing China!
Hope that more Australians living near the desert watch this video….. marvelous, amazing, inspiring!
Next up: Green the Taklamakan!
Overseas Chinese here. Great video! You speak Mandarin way better than me :)
I'm here cos I'm interested to see if the Great Green Wall is genuinely thriving, or if the planted trees will die off in a few years.
I couldn't pick up any insects or bees. How are those, did you see those?
I'm not an expert, so can't answer your question, sorry. I haven't heard anything about trees dying off. I guess you can check back next year when they hold the 2024 Great Wall Marathon and see what it looks like then. Sorry for not being able to answer your question.
@@TravelinChina Sure, mate! But did you see insects like around the green scrubs, perhaps dragonflies or small wild bees?
Oh yeah. Loads. So many insects. Although, I didn't see any wild bees in the desert. Plenty of other insects and bugs, including dragonflies.@@MaharionPendragon
@@TravelinChina Good! Insect pollinate & attract birds, birds poop & help spread seeds. Hopefully fauna will somehow return & create a healthy ecological loop.
Thanks mate, great adventure!
Amazing 🌱🌲🌳🌵good job 👍👍👍🇨🇳
The river water not wasted. Perhaps the idea can be use on other countries.
It's fascinating to see what China are doing in their Desert regions, other countries with deserts could learn so much from this too.... turning non-usable land into lakes is a win-win for the people that live there, farming, and for the country as a whole, and tourism etc.. it's a no brainer really
There is no such river near Arabian or Sahara desert. So it's not possible
It also helps to cool the planet!
kudos to Stuwart , 👍👍👍
Taklamakan greening is on the way. Hope to see it happen successfully in my lifetime.
It's already started, I went and filmed a video. It's in my Xinjiang playlist if you'd like to check it out.
How amazing
Thank you
love the intro🤣
You'll love the end then!
@@TravelinChina 9:24 Not convincing at all😂
@@TravelinChina "Simple and safe"
very interesting video
Молодцы, это намного лучшее использвание денег, чем война.
so cool that I (a Chinese abroad) am learning about China from an expat 😂 great video! wish you had interviewed locals central to the effort but maybe they wouldn’t be accessible 😅
u miss all the meat in the crab legs!
I got some!
Yes, that was what I was wondering.
What did you do with the legs ??
haha
Love this man enjoyed the whole video
Thanks for watching and letting me know!
Excellent technology. Wise leadership and competent responsible collective governance will bless the nation and people with progress prosperity happiness stability security. Those Asuras not appreciating and blocking the path to progress of others will fall into decline. Well done China 👍❤️🇨🇳
Love and respect from China #LittleMasisi ,
Thank you all.
I like the way you eat that crab, you're like a local, so good specially when speaking the native Chinese language. Awesome white guy. 👍
It's result of decades of hard work and sacrifices. According to history, the project to rescue the lands started during Mao administration, and some were added at later periods making the environments in China very beautiful although industrial cities have very bad air pollution. But in fact, most parts of China have very beautiful environment. Although the real ideal at that time was to be able to produce more foods, it's very great to see a desert disappearing from man's efforts.
Crab 🦀 crab is the start
shame that we do not do this in Australia
Yes,your government should save and use all the money and energy to do good things for your country and not just follow what America tell you to do....
@@chucizhaohun as compared with what the CCP?
Australia doesn't have large freshwater reserve. The big project plan is using saltwater which can be disastrous
@@hijisfriend9030 we do it just runs on the wrong side of a mountain to the sea
Thank you for your vlog, it's very informative. Now I'm more curious what possible fruit trees or other plants can grow to diversify their economy.
Thanks for watching Anne
great!
It would be grand to get Lop Nur going again in the Taklamakan.
Fantastic presentation !!! New subscriber from Singapore
Thank you and welcome!!! Great to know you enjoyed it.
Thank you, great informational video!
我的家乡在达旗👍✊
这是在伊盟了？？？我说口音耳熟
It's an amazing effort 🎉
China has been doing a lot of projects in greening the desert. It's great 👍
Love and respect from China #LittleMasisi ,
Thank you all.
@@littlemasisi6074 It's my pleasure
@@SolidGoldShows Thank you for your love and support
@@littlemasisi6074 You are welcome
another example of wasting water just like what Las Vegas does to the Lake Mead. Just ask yourself if it is a cost-effective way of using water. if it is not, it won't last long.
这些水雨季时候会造成洪涝，就算是旱季最终也是从黄河流向大海。你对中国的河流似乎一无所知，中国的河流几乎都会通过长江和黄河然后排入太平洋。我们还有计划将高原的水引导到沙漠来，不过是2050年左右完成，那个水本来会在雨季汇入长江造成南部地区洪涝最终也是流入大海。我不知道有什么可抱怨的，把雨季流向海里的水引导到沙漠里，解决了沙漠问题不好么，虽然这需要几十年的时间。
@@cheneychen5703 妳對中國歷史的貧乏令人驚訝。大禹治水，李冰父子的都江堰都是中國治水的驕傲，利國利民的工程。水是珍稀資源，尤其是今日。如何將水資源充分利用是每個富國在做的事情，世界各國將乾淨水源導至數百里遠的城市，更是羅馬帝國兩千年來的思想，如今仍深遠影響西方國家。人家國強民富，不是沒有理由。中國古有李冰，然而能感恩的並視為理所當然的人，普遍都是，絕少有人想延續李冰的思想。
Amazing, beautiful dessert 👍
😍😍😍
Stu, 老滿怕你回去後痛風啦
cina is the beat and beatiful
So this why there's drought in china recently.
time.com/4851013/china-greening-kubuqi-desert-land-restoration/
Maybe you can do some reading.
治沙理沙，不止造福了当地人民，更是对世界环境的贡献，希望各国人民看到这一点～
没所谓，中国人做自己的事。
You not just learn mandrin, you have also mastered the art of eating bugs.
羡慕你可以到处玩，我要工作，呜呜呜呜
到处玩就然后制作成视频是他的工作
Another 💪 video from you. By the way, you didn't show us sucking the meat inside the crab's legs.
This is awesome
You speak Mandarin perfectly. Just WoW.
I absolutely don't, my Chinese is just so-so. But thanks for the encouragement.
This is great until you are no longer able to continue diverting water from these rivers. Especially during the increasingly prolonged drought like periods that have been affecting China and many other countries around the world recently. I fear for the sustainability of these oasis’.
How sustainable are annual flood waters from the Yellow River? What happens during drought? Does the desert dry back up or does water continue to be diverted from the Yellow River? If the latter, wouldn't it be robbing Peter to pay Paul? Hasn't the Yellow River already run dry for years in the lower reaches because of diversion of irrigation waters? upstream?
The water comes from ice flood in yellow river. it hapens every March to April.
Tq for sharing so very very amazing
My pleasure 😊
A nice leisurely drive on a buggy NOT 🤣
Dude you wasted the whole crab. I chew everything down including the back shell too
Don't worry, when the cameras were off I got to work.
Can I please have some of those crabs please? :)
Just sub you are funny lol
感觉好多老外去的地方比大部分中国人都要多，哈哈哈哈 而且很多东西比中国人了解的还多，比如这个 不说我都不知道，沙漠里有水 不敢想象
Excellent😍😍
