Nestled at an altitude of 3,520 meters, the Chela Grasslands in Tanchang county of Longnan, Gansu province, present a magnificent spectacle against a backdrop of endless clouds. Here, a massive 200,000-kilowatt wind power project is rapidly taking shape.
This endeavor, a key initiative in Gansu province's 14th Five-Year Plan, is expected to generate a staggering 394 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. Once completed, it will not only boost related industries but also yield significant economic and ecological benefits.
Under the autumn sun, a ribbon-like road winds through the grasslands, where cattle and sheep graze leisurely. Towering wind turbines reach toward the sky, their rotating blades casting fleeting shadows on the verdant landscape below. As a gentle breeze caresses your face, you can't help but feel a sense of tranquility and awe.
The project seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with nature's beauty, showcasing how renewable energy can harmonize with pristine landscapes. It stands as a testament to China's commitment to green development, promising a brighter, cleaner future for generations to come.
