Moving Mountains

[Graham]

Want a new city?
This is how it's done.
Take an area 5km x 5km and level it for a new city.
Moving Mountains

Construction vehicles clear land for construction in Baidaoping village in Lanzhou, Gansu province on Dec 10, 2012.
The city launched a project in October 2012 to transform the low mountains in Baidaoping village into land for construction.
The project, covering an area of 25 square kilometers, will level off hundreds of hills within six months.

Maybe they should look at the next size up, from construction to mining.

Those mountains seem little more than over sized sand dunes. If they were rock formations, I'm sure it would take a bit longer than 6 months to level.........and cost a lot more too.

Still an impressive project nonetheless.
