Do you know what is the most noteworthy symbol of China-Pakistan friendship?

The deep feelings between China and Pakistan have long been widely known, but do you know what is the most noteworthy symbol of friendship between China and Pakistan Railway? Perhaps many people don't know that it is actually an expressway on the border of China, but this expressway is not ordinary. It is not only called the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway by its own name, but also has a maximum altitude of over 4,733 meters, which is a real natural barrier. This heavenly road is called karakoram highway.

Don't think that this highway is only high above sea level. Due to the need to cross the steep Karakorum Mountain, the beautiful Pamirs and many steep plateaus, the scenery on this road is amazing and it has been selected as one of the most beautiful expressways in the world by authoritative organizations. Of course, the price of beautiful roads is extremely steep, and its steepness is said to be much more dangerous than the Qinghai-Tibet line.

To say how steep it is, in fact, we can see from the data when this road was built that this road is more than 400 kilometers in China and 600 kilometers in Pakistan, with a total length of several thousand kilometers. Tianlu? . Nearly a thousand people died here, so there is a very vivid saying to compare this road? One kilometer, one life? It is also enough to reflect the friendship between China and Pakistan.

Along the road, there is the most awe-inspiring plateau scenery in the whole earth. According to experts' statistics, there are not only the second highest mountain in the world near the highway, but also hundreds of peaks over 7 kilometers nearby, and none of them are named. Many of them are unknown to humans. The perennial low temperature, high altitude and occasional landslides show how difficult it is to build this expressway.

8,000 tons of explosives, 80,000 tons of cement, 30 million cubic meters of earth and stone, 1700 culverts and so on. All kinds of data are telling the miraculous difficulty of this road, which is equivalent to digging a ladder in the dream place of every traveler and mountaineer. Of course, the most important significance is to make the exchanges between the two countries closer, which has brought great opportunities to the economic development of northern Pakistan and made the local people of Pakistan Railway call it? Never forget this kindness of China?

China Martyrs Cemetery in Gilgit is the best place to express Batie's gratitude. The construction of this extraordinary martyrs cemetery alone is enough to prove its sincerity. The most noteworthy is the old man Ahmed, who volunteered to guard this martyr cemetery for 37 years. From the age of 22, the old man saw the dedication made by the people of China in building this road, so he decided to come to the Martyrs Cemetery to protect the heroes of China with his best youth.

The main thing is that you have been to this cemetery, and you will be shocked by the spotless nature of this cemetery. In fact, Ahmed has cleaned the cemetery three or four times a day since he guarded it, just to make the hero's resting place cleaner. Even if the living income can only rely on a little subsidy, it has been stuck in this cemetery. Not only that, but he continues to plan to let his descendants continue to guard here.

This highway not only has countless beautiful scenery, but also simple folk customs. Coupled with the expansion of this expressway, it is more convenient to travel, and the scenery on the road will definitely shock you. I have to say, if there is a chance in life, I plan to drive by myself. Will you? (Some pictures are from the Internet, thank you, please delete them. )
