Explore China's Unreal $50 Billion Himalayan Railway

Imagine building a train line that doesn’t just cut through flat fields or rolling hills, but cuts straight through the towering Himalayas-one of the harshest and most unpredictable landscapes on Earth!
Now, imagine pouring a jaw-dropping $50 billion into making it happen. Sounds crazy, right? Well, that’s exactly what China is doing with its Himalayan Railway. Stretching across altitudes soaring above 5,000 meters and with over 80% of it consisting of tunnels and bridges, this project is nothing less than a modern engineering miracle.
But why would China take on such a colossal, high-stakes challenge? How do you build through landslides, avalanches, and some of the harshest conditions on Earth? And what does it mean for the future of the region?
Let’s find out!
