Xinjiang Celebrates 70th Anniversary with Significant Development Milestones
BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 September 2025 – Celebrating the 70th founding anniversary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a special report titled “Great Love for My Land Xinjiang” showcases the region’s remarkable evolution through innovative projects and ecological commitment.
The Tianshan Mountains, which stretch across one-third of Xinjiang, have historically served as a natural divide between the north and south. The completion of the Tianshan Shengli Tunnel, the world’s longest expressway tunnel at 22.13 kilometers, signifies a victory over these barriers. Despite facing difficulties such as rock bursts and fault zones during construction, the tunnel now bridges northern and southern Xinjiang, enhancing regional integration and trade. An expansive network of highways and railways now traverses the area, while China-Europe freight trains bolster Xinjiang’s role as a crucial Eurasian corridor.

Koktokay, a town that was once identified merely as “111” on maps, provided essential minerals for China’s first atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb, and the Dongfanghong-1 satellite. The enduring legacy of its mines stands as a testament to national resilience.
Moreover, ecological restoration has transformed the region’s landscapes. Once regarded as a “Sea of Death,” the Taklimakan Desert is now encompassed by a 3,046-kilometer green belt, thanks to nearly five decades of anti-desertification initiatives. Efforts such as planting Sacsaoul trees and creating straw checkerboards have knitted a continuous “green scarf” that stabilizes the desert’s periphery.

Xinjiang is witnessing its most vigorous phase of development. The Junggar Basin, which housed China’s first major oilfield in the 1950s, now features digital oilfields and a leading film rendering base. The region continues to progress through cloud computing and innovation-driven sectors.
Collectively, these milestones illustrate Xinjiang’s transformation from a distant frontier to a hub of connectivity, resilience, and sustainable development.
