On Beishan Mountain outside Beijing, trees have been planted on what was once barren rock.
More than 10,000 men removed thousands of hectares of rocks with explosives before hauling up soil and trees.
"Trucks could not go up the mountain, so we had to carry the soil ourselves," Bai Yuanwang, a 36-year-old worker from Hebei province, said.
