20km Stone Tunnels Dug by Hand in Xinjiang!

[@JaYoeNation]

Looking at these types of places gives me the feeling of history. It puts me in the shoes of the men who dug the shafts in the first place. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

[@JO-et2ir]

Is climate change affecting the glaciers and water supply?

[@deadbeatdon]

History and vitality are flowing through the veins of the place. Very impressive job Matt. The amount of information you’re communicating with genuine enthusiasm, it feels like your halfway toward retirement as their English guide. For a tourist passing through, bravo!

Many people's & countries hates the Chinese Communist Parties & not just by an Indian 🇮🇳 . American 🇺🇸 , Canadian 🇨🇦 , Britain 🇬🇧 , EU 🇪🇺 countries, Japanese 🇯🇵 , South Korean 🇰🇷, Taiwanese 🇹🇼 , Hongkongers 🇭🇰 , South Asian countries, Australian 🇦🇺 , New Zealanders 🇳🇿 , Muslim Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolians, pro-democracy community, human rights community, Christian community, Muslim community, Buddhists community, Hinduism community & etc etc etc around the world, most of them hates the Communist Chinese Parties, even most the Chinese around the world itself hates the Communist Chinese Parties too . If all countries & its community unite to against China 🇨🇳 ones & for all, the China 🇨🇳 GDP doesn't have any good anymore . You can see what happen to Huawei around the world, right ? 😁 . So, who should feelings sad & angry now ? 🤣 lol .

Thank you Matt for the extremely interesting video on Xinjiang water channeling system 🙏🙏🇨🇳🇨🇳there is an old Chinese saying, 'ancestors sow the seeds so that the descendants can enjoy the tree shades'. This is one of the perfect examples of it.

For a minute there I thought I was watching Discovery Channel documentary. Very interesting and thorough explanation. 👍

[@bjbumblebee5324]

Amazing videos and amazing story on how those men brought water to the villages. Amazing people

[@ytfp]

Fascinating tour and simply gorgeous site to see!! I am so happy that you are getting access to these sites in a way that lets you make videos without having to speak over crowds or in the back ranks of an ongoing tour. The production quality was excellent. It is really enjoyed viewing the beautiful people and the pristine water.

Very educational, Matt! Thank you for the explanation of Turpan n her surroundings. Amazing people, back then, came up with such ideas of underground irrigation for their crops in very dry region!

Thanks Matt really enjoying this trip you are doing never cease to be amazed by China

[@wangpaochen8569]

These underground tunnels(aqua ducts) reminded me of Rome where the aqua ducts were constructed overhead, during the Roman reign from the source to direct the water upwards to other dryer n higher attitudes in that Roman region! We were told by Our guide! Forgot to mention the water from the public tap around Rome from the aqua ducts were clean, cool, refreshing n safe to drink! Would welcome others who have seen those aqua ducts in Rome too.

[@walterchin8832]

Matt, this segment of your post are very interesting and informative of Xinjiang. I was thinking that Turpan and other parts of Xinjiang are so sunny, so they should have no problem of renewable solar energy delivered by miles of solar panels.

[@MightySteve001]

A wonderful documentary about grapes growing. It is very educational and delightful in watching. I would think grapes growing would lead to a wine-producing region.

Miss your videos Matt! Hope u had a good break with ur immediate family. Hopefully Annie is well health wise from the surgery, and spent some quality time with ur sinker dinker!

[@mtiqbal63]

An excellent example of one man documentary channel. Discovery Channel will charge millions to make such a documentary that is disparately needed for tourism. But the Chinese have figured it out to do that using only a few thousands of dollars. Find a highly skilled KZbinr, only pay for a travel and food of that person, and results are excellent documentaries. This is the end of Discovery Channel, BBC documentaries, National Geographic etc.

[@stvdmc2011]

You tube and other platform have allow anybody to creat content and get it to the view. Otherwise people like jiayao will have to spend some quality time with people like Harvey Weinstein.

Just amazing, thanks Matt 😊

[@sstchan924]

A very educational documentary video. It also unintentionally reveals different ethnic groups in addition to the Uyghurs living harmoniously for centuries working hard to improve their lives in this hot and arid place. Water melons here are also famous throughout China because as they are maturing water content evaporates more than usual making them much sweeter.

[@tonbopro]

would give alot to try those grapes

[@SuperHyee]

Thanks !

[@rubyrosarioduque1820]

Oh my...unbelievable . ...

[@magnetospin]

That's very interesting. It reminds me of the similar thing they have in the Sahara. I think the diggers are a lot smaller than Matt and the tunnels are a lot more roomier for them.

[@kalenal1841]

Fascinating!! But what about the miners, where did they go to the bathroom?

[@momokui]

Please don't spill their hundred years secret 😊

[@lazybones5390]

the grapes are so oppressed, they become raisins.

[@hanfucolorful9656]

We may need to build such an underground tunnel water system on Mars.

[@stonechen2480]

Many Chinese, I myself was one of them, think Uyghurs are nomads like Mongolians and Kazaks. Uyghurs settled in the oases around Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in China, and the second-largest shifting sand desert in the world, one of the driest places on Earth. They slowly became farmers afterward.

[@slphang0123]

Did they fill the quanats as they dig? Make logistical sense?

[@LINLIN-pl4lc]

[@HumminbirdMoth]

300 years?? NO! NO!It is like started 2000 years ago!!

[@TS-hd3mc]

Mat, wouldn't it be great if you could teach uyghurt dancing to Americans? We all would be dancing anytime where there is enough space, like inside a shopping mall or on a stripmall where it is not too hot. Dancing is healthier than watching TV for hours. More important, people will loosen up and be happier.

[@imstilaround9668]

Why China 🇨🇳 doesn't accept Afghanistan 🇦🇫 refugees ? 😢 .

[@ngheanchoong]

usa and the west created the refugees problem, tell them to take the refugees

[@bfc4837]

How many refugees can other countries accept? 30 million? The United States has a territorial area similar to China, its per capita GDP is 6 times that of China, and its population is 1/4 of China. So the United States can accept refugees, right? All these disasters are caused by the United States. Why do Western countries destroy a sovereign country? Terrorist organizations in the Middle East were initially supported by the United States and Western countries. After Western countries get out of Afghanistan, China will help Afghans build their country. Of course, the US CIA will continue to undermine this cooperation.

[@btiger9495]

They only go to west. Japan also do not have refugees.
