And people still think aliens built the pyramids. Moral of the story is: don’t underestimate what a few thousand well-organized people can accomplish.

China: 9 hours
Other countries: 9 years

Meanwhile in the UK, they've been arguing whether to build one for over a decade

When you hop on to a train ride that the destination was not even built yet

"Honey how was your day at work today?"
"Oh it was alright, we just built a train station today."

[joecowan]

You've got to hand it to them. The logistics involved in the planning and organisation of 1, 500 people and equipment on such a small site is nothing short of remarkable

[Ryan-pwuy]

It takes 2 years here to fill a pothole the size of a dinner plate

They've built the Great Wall after all. Engineering tech tree was completed a long time ago.

[JonatasAdoM]

I can't even clean my room in 9 hours.

[mohmeegaik]

I cannot help but be amazed at the innovative attitude of the chinese engineers and the cooperative workers. Only China can produce this type of attitude among these citizens. Jia you people of China.

It's very satisfying to see how organized they are. It takes high compatibility and cooperation to finish such task. Great work!!
