Not only does the tunnel reduce traffic, it also helps increase the number of tourists to famous attractions around Taihu Lake by 50%. (Photo: Xinhua)

Because the lake bottom has many layers of mud and clay, the team of engineers used the dike method instead of traditional tunnel drilling for construction. (Photo: Xinhua)

Millions of cubic metres of concrete were used, along with ice cooling solutions and fibre optic monitoring to prevent cracking. (Photo: CCCC)

The construction process also applies robots, digital technology and artificial intelligence to increase accuracy and reduce labor. (Photo: CCCC)

In particular, the project focuses on ecological protection with a closed transport system, wastewater treatment and dust and noise reduction. (Photo: CCCC)

Once operational, the Taihu Tunnel is not only a technical feat but also a tourism symbol and economic driver for the Yangtze River Delta. (Photo: X)
