You must know about the Great Wall. But did you hear of the "green Great Wall"? There is a green belt around the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang. It's 3,046 kilometres long and it was finished on 28th November,2024.
People call the Taklimakan Desert the "Sea of Death". It has many moving sand dunes (沙丘). Sandstorms from it were bad for the weather, farming, and people's health. To solve this problem,our country started building the green belt in 1978. It took more than 40 years to finish. Building the green belt was difficult. A great many people worked in the desert day and night. Luckily,their hard work finally paid off.
The green belt is helpful. It stops big sandstorms,makes the air clean and keeps roads and buildings safe. What's more,it's good for the economy(经济). For example,some of its plants can be made into medicine.
The green belt around the Taklimakan Desert sets an example for other countries with deserts. Hopefully,more countries will learn from it and take an active action to protect the environment.
