Highway through Qaidam Basin in western China -- Hou Deqiang/Corbis

Highway through Qaidam Basin in western China -- Hou Deqiang/Corbis

comments,

  • What tough guy calls this arid, unforgiving landscape home?""He\s a bit grumpy and a little lumpy
  • Abundant reserves of natural gas, salt, oil, lead, zinc, borax and other resources give this place the nickname “Treasure Basin”.""Where is it?
  • Some of the world\s longest and highest roads share this space with more traditional modes of travel.""They may not be as fast, but they\ve got local colour
  • You\d think water would be hard to come by in such a cold, dry place but near this dusty highway you\ll find the largest lake in this country.""Where is this wonderful watering hole?
