The government of China is planning to move mountains to build a new city - literally!
According to one of the country’s biggest construction firms, 700 mountains will be flattened at a cost of £2.2bn to make way for the new city, yes 700!
Five hundred square miles of land in the Lanzhou New Area, 50 miles from the city of Lanzhou, will be developed into a massive new development zone. Talk about moving mountains.
By the way, this isn't the first time. Fifteen years ago, in November 1997 identical plans to move hills, fill in valleys and flatten the land for construction was reported. The scale was smaller but the idea behind it was identical.
