The rocket carrying the three-member crew of the Shenzhou XIX mission, China's 14th manned spaceflight, lifted off early on Wednesday morning, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gobi Desert.
Last Saturday, two new provincial highways, the S245 and S240, officially opened to traffic, connecting Hami (Xinjiang) and Dunhuang (Gansu). These routes reduce the travel distance between the two cities by at least 60 kilometers, adding another major transportation corridor between Xinjiang and Gansu.
As of Oct 17, Gansu province's cumulative installed capacity of new energy sources reached 60.14 million kilowatts, accounting for nearly 64 percent of the province's total installed capacity. Both the proportion of new energy installed capacity and new energy power generation are ranked second nationwide.
For the last four years, a border police gyrocopter unit has played a critical role in patrolling the vast Gobi Desert in Northwest China's Gansu province.
