NASA’s satellites reveal a miracle in Inner Mongolia: the Kubuqi Desert, once a sea of sand, now shimmers with millions of solar panels—a "Photovoltaic Great Wall" stretching 400 km. This isn’t just clean energy; it’s a bold blueprint turning wasteland into wealth.
The mega-project, spanning Ordos to Jungar Banner, acts as a shield—blocking desert expansion while generating 100 million kilowatts of power. Beneath the panels, three million mu of degraded land revives, with vegetation creeping back across nine million mu. From space, the arrays resemble a vast "blue ocean," but on the ground, they mean jobs, energy, and reclaimed ecosystems.
Locals once choked on sandstorms; now, they watch their desert bloom with opportunity. The Wall powers homes nationwide while proving deserts can be both green and gold. China’s energy frontier is rewriting the future—one sunbeam at a time.
