Here is a very unusual facility in the desert of China. All sorts of strangeness, Giant white lines, fake runways, odd collections of vehicles and airplanes.

The access roads seem new and made of fresh crushed rock. You can see the roads cross dry creek beds where they have not been washed away.

Some of the larger structures (older runway) seem to be from previous seasons and show signs of mud flows over them thus indicating the roads are well maintained.
tator got me started into looking at this site with this post.

[edit 08/03/2006: added new pointers to the long covered trench in the east, the formal entrance to the facility, some tall towers and other buildings and vehicles.]
