An aerial photo taken on June 26, 2022 shows the Yuqie Expressway in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, scheduled to open on June 30. The expressway links Yuli County and Qiemo County and crosses the Taklimakan Desert - the second-largest desert in the world, called "the Sea of Death." It will be the longest desert-crossing highway, running for 307 kilometers in the desert. Photo: cnsphoto
