As spring blossoms wash the dunes of Mingsha Mountain and the Crescent Spring Scenic Area in soft apricot hues, the peak tourism season is drawing growing crowds to Dunhuang, Gansu province. Behind the scenes, an "invisible power protection" approach is helping ensure both reliable electricity and an unspoiled landscape.
Adopted by State Grid Jiuquan Power Supply Company, the model centers on burying low-voltage cables and keeping infrastructure hidden to prevent any visual clutter. Regular insulation testing and monitoring detect and address potential risks without disturbing the desert scenery.
