Seabed Wonder: Xiamen Xiang’an Tunnel (English Edition): China‘s First Undersea Tunnel – Engineering, Innovation & the Story of Its Builders

The World’s Largest Cross-Section Drill-and-Blast Subsea Highway Tunnel — How It Was Built, How It Was Financed, How It Was Kept Safe, and the People Who Made It Happen
This is not a textbook on tunnel engineering, and it is not a dry government report. It is the story of how China built its first undersea tunnel—a road tunnel beneath the seabed of Xiamen, with the largest cross-section of any drill-and-blast subsea highway tunnel in the world. You see the construction from the inside: how they got the financing, how they solved the technical problems, how they kept the workers safe under the sea, and who the key people were. The book is written by a newspaper reporter, so it moves like a story, with photographs and a focus on the events and individuals that made the project work. If you want to understand a major piece of Chinese engineering through the people and decisions behind it—rather than read a technical manual or a policy summary—this is it.

Detail

Seabed Wonder: Xiamen Xiang'an Tunnel takes you beneath the ocean floor to explore one of the most extraordinary engineering achievements of the 21st century.

Part of the acclaimed China Creation Series， this book chronicles the construction of the Xiamen Xiang'an Tunnel—a project that pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in underwater engineering. From the earliest surveys to the final breakthrough， every phase of this massive undertaking is brought to life through detailed narration and visual documentation.

Inside you'll discover：

  • The geological challenges of boring through the seabed

  • The innovative technologies developed to overcome water pressure and unstable ground

  • The human stories of the engineers and workers who made it possible

  • How the tunnel transformed connectivity between Xiamen Island and the mainland

Whether you're a student of civil engineering， a lover of modern Chinese history， or simply fascinated by large-scale infrastructure， Seabed Wonder offers an inside look at the ingenuity and determination behind one of the world's great tunnels.
