China's Great Green Wall circling the equator 3.5 times

From the air, they look like giant fingerprints left by the Earth itself. Spanning 28 square kilometers of Ningxia’s Pengyang County, the Jinjiping Terraces represent a staggering feat of scale—a continuous band of dryland farmland long enough to circle the equator three and a half times. While this rugged region shares its geography with the historic path of the Red Army's Long March, making it a key stop on the red tourism trail, the landscape you see today is the fruit of a different kind of battle: decades of backbreaking local labor to tame erosion and build a lasting green wall against desertification.
