Another engineering wonder finished, Water flows into China's ancient capital Xi'an after decade-long project completed​

Water started flowing into Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province on July 16 from a major water diversion project that took more than a decade to complete.

The Hanjiang-to-Weihe River water diversion project, the largest water conservancy project in Shaanxi, cost 51.6 billion yuan (about $7.2 billion) to build.

It supplies water from the Hanjiang, a major tributary of the Yangtze River, through a 98.3-km-long tunnel, to four densely populated urban areas located on both sides of the Weihe in central Shaanxi, a tributary of the Yellow River, in an effort to ease water supply strains there.

fantastic. I just wish we Indians can learn such large infra project execution from Chinese (without the autocracy part of course). Congratulations on this to Chinese people
