Did China FLOOD a Desert?

How did China turn a desert into an oasis? Did they really flood the place?
I travelled to Kubuqi Desert in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, to find out how a place once known as the Sea of Death is known covered in lakes and rivers.
And of course, whilst in the desert I absolutely had to try out some of the local desert cuisine, which just so happened to be desert crabs. Yes! Crabs in the desert!
And whilst appreciating the beauty of Kubuqi Desert, I also found time to fit in some rather terrifying desert adventure tourism.

I'm not an expert, so can't answer your question, sorry. I haven't heard anything about trees dying off. I guess you can check back next year when they hold the 2024 Great Wall Marathon and see what it looks like then. Sorry for not being able to answer your question.

It's result of decades of hard work and sacrifices. According to history, the project to rescue the lands started during Mao administration, and some were added at later periods making the environments in China very beautiful although industrial cities have very bad air pollution. But in fact, most parts of China have very beautiful environment. Although the real ideal at that time was to be able to produce more foods, it's very great to see a desert disappearing from man's efforts.
