The Xinjiang Heruo Railway is 825 kilometers long. It starts from Ruoqiang Station of the Geku Railway in the east, runs westward along the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains and the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, and ends at the Hotan Station of the Kahe Railway. It is a national key railway construction project. The opening of the Heruo Railway marks the opening of the world's first railway around the desert. Since then, the distance from the southern Xinjiang region to Xinjiang has been shortened by more than 1,000 kilometers, and the travel time of local people from Qiemo County to Korla City has been shortened from 12 hours to 6 hours.

Draw a circle and weave a net. Looking back on the journey of the Chinese builders in Xinjiang, they made railways and highways meander in the desert into dragons, and they used arduous efforts to guard the vision of the people of Xinjiang for a better future. Here, the efforts of the builders will be remembered by every grain of sand, and the stories of the people of southern Xinjiang will be told by the wind of the desert.Editor/Ma Xue
