Heavy sandstorm with dust clouds towering at least 100 metres (330ft) high hit China’s Dunhuang city on July 25, 2021. Home to the Mogao caves, a Unesco World Heritage Site, Dunhuang is located in the Gobi Desert, known for its harsh climate and living conditions.

Respect to the traffic controllers. They could risk their lives directing traffic helping people racing away from the storm.
80% of the cultural relics of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are in museums in Western countries. what reason? you guess.

It actually is in the movie mission imposible: ghost protocol. It looks legit.
As an Australian, I can tell you that when you see a dust storm heading towards you, you realise just how small you are compared to something so outrageous..
Wait, you guys have sandstorms, too, in Australia? Wicked.
@@mirmir9368 yep. We had one come up from South Australia over 1000km away which painted all of NSW in a reddish hue.
Not surprising since most of the continent is desert.
There's flood, wildfire, sandstorm. Mother nature really is mad at us huh
There about to have a tsunami too
There's a forest emitting more CO2 now, we have done it boys, earth is no more

Ok so I’m not the only one who thinks of that movie every time things like this happen
@@NotEmi. i think he might be reffering to the sandstorms on earth in that movie but it does kinda look like that
This is how post apocalyptic movies start out.
It is deeply disturbing for me, a Chinese, to see that there are people in the comment section which use such horrid language to discriminate against us and being happy about this natural disaster which as adversely impacted the lives of the people and may cause damage to the historical cultural artifacts in this city of great prominence. Sure our last generation may have not been the eco-friendliest but the younger Chinese are catching up; I have became vegetarian and I take public transport more than ever to allow for environmental protection. I wish the best for the great people of the city of Dunhuang, which I have visited and the people are the most friendly. The people that feel happiness at the suffering of others? Not so much.
Daniel, I agree with you so much. There are a few people who say truly horrifying things, including those (of Indian background) who wish for the destruction of China or some people who claim that Nanking should be re-enacted.
If nobody will support the people of China / Dunhuang in learning the errors of their ways, but instead glorify and wish for violence, brutality, barbary and bloodshed, then our mother Earth truly is doomed.
Forgave them, they dont know every part of the world has own disaster, maybe next in their country.
Dude true like I'm not Chinese but these people in the comments are just so disrespectful and are acting like every single Chinese person has a hand in making the virus
And those muslims just commenting exact same thing just too fking annoying
Fact:-every country is suffering from natural disasters now .

We are at the time of the end. Expect more sandstorms, lightnings, darkness in daytime, famine, pestilence, more locusts, etc. No such thing as global warming or global cooling. Our Lord Jesus Christ is warning us and we must REPENT before he returns.
If you want to see something crazy look up the dust bowl of the 1930’s in the US. It had lighting in the dust form the friction. It’s crazy.
Although the Extreme weather conditions like floods in Henan province is a once in few hundreds years flood, just like the snow storm in Texes, but natural disasters happen often in China due to the massive territory and various different ecosystems. Japan and Taiwan for example experience earthquake often, and California experience high volume of wild fire , or high frequencies of tornadoes in west part of America it all happens due to the geographical location.
Yet they decided that smaller countries has to get rid off stuff to help climate change while big countries does nothing but making it worse

Didn't know that China has a desert region & that they experience sandstorm & that huge!…as huge as in the Middle East!😯

There was another video on this channel where an old Chinese couple were making it their mission to plant as many trees 🌳 in the desert 🏜 to help prevent these sandstorms from happening again , I think more ppl should contribute to helping them.

It looks just like the ones we would occasionally have when I lived in Casa Grande, Arizona -- 2000 to 2003. Such sand storms plus summer temperatures sometimes above 120 F degrees made for a very unique experience that I don't miss at all.
86% less precipitation.

Every year 4-5 times this storm comes in North Western rajasthan.

Regardless of my views of the chinese government. Those people who suffer and gain from the system are targeted by such uncommon force. May these natural aggressions be a mere warning, rather than a declaration.

What does the Chinese government has got anything to do with this?

@@graziedean3206yes they are, But you are missing few things same as many people in our world doing , You can not blame few countries for pollution because current pollution level is not just few years of work it is being collected since industrial revolution during 1760 to 1820 America and Europe were largest polluters as they were at developing stage and it is same scenario with India now that is why developed country should help under developed country to grow without polluting earth instead of criticising under developed countries for pollution

Other locations got rain to the point of flooding like crazy they barely get a drop and fierce sandstorms
