    It is very old documentary which was made by national geographics but after some national geographics removed it from their website for unknown reasons and now spark is playing it without even a single second change

    China ports are extremely efficient and handles massive amount of containers. More than half of the top global 10 ports are in China. Incredible skills in logistics.

    As a Indian , full marks to China, we should appreciate the Chinese for their vision & hard work. Amaze to see their mastering the skills of engineering & technology.

    I'm really fascinated to see this engineering Marvel port. My congratulations to all the Chinese engineers and the skilled workers who put up massive work to built world-class port...🙏
  • It's a decade ago project, now it's the smartest and largest sea port in the world.

    Americans think that this is recent... But guys, this documentary is almost 20 years old.
  • @Holocaustica
    I think it’s genuinely ironic that the worlds busiest ports need their actual footage to be played at 16x for you to get a sense of tempo. They are just soooo enormous. Like the sun crossing the sky.

    This channel will never be old. Even generations past, this channel will still around us.

    I wish that YouTube had the mandatory feature when uploading videos to indicate when the video was actually recorded. Knowing the upload date is useless without knowing when the video was made. Sometimes, uploaders are helpful with adding it in the description, but it should be a requirement for upload.

    There are 2 bridges in that area - Donghai Bridge 東海大橋, 东海大桥 "East Sea Bridge" length of 32.5 kilometres (20.2 mi) about 100km to the west is Hangzhou Bay Bridge 杭州湾大桥 / 杭州灣大橋 35.7 km (22.2 mi) a highway bridge from Shanghai towards Ningbo 宁波市. Both of these bridges are longer than the main bridge section (29.6 km / 18.4 mi) of the 55 km / 34 mi Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau bridge–tunnel system.

    OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTARY - thank you for this very informative video. The Chinese have incredible infrastructure. They graduate a million engineers per year - that has help this developing nation immensely. Well done China, Gong Ho!
  • @SMX815
    It is hard to put this in to context as this engineering on a whole new level & great documentation 👍
  • @kiptoov
    Chinese engineers are underrated These guys are so good
  • What is the capacity of the Yangshan port? 6.3 million TEUs Yangshan Phase Four, launched in 2017, is the world's largest automated container terminal, with a capacity of 6.3 million TEUs, 2.4 kilometers of quays, seven berths, 21 quay cranes, 108 rail-mounted gantry cranes and 125 automated guided vehicles.
