The beauty of the lingering "blue" ecology

When it comes to Inner Mongolia, most people's first impression must be of grasslands, and the most well-known grassland is undoubtedly the "Chilechuan".

Located in the northeast of Hohhot City, the "Chilechuan", which used to be known for its low visibility of cattle and sheep in the wind and grass, was severely damaged by natural factors and human activities.

The magnificent grassland scenery attracts foreign media professionals to recite the "Chilechuan" with tourists.

After long-term and unremitting governance, in 2020, the Chilechuan Grassland was awarded the first batch of "National Grassland Natural Park" by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. Previously, the barren rocky beaches of the Chile River, which were filled with yellow sand, have been restored to the magnificent scenery of "cattle and sheep seen in the wind blowing grass low", reproducing the beautiful natural scenery of the Chile River grassland.

The grassland in Saikhantara City, meaning "beautiful grassland" in Mongolian, is located in the central area of the main urban area of Baotou City. In 2017, Baotou City decided to reorganize and relocate all the existing land and buildings on the west side of the grassland in Saikhantara City to restore the grassland landscape. Now, the undulating slopes in the park are lush with green grass, and various wild flowers are blooming. Horses and cows leisurely stroll and eat grass.

Mao Lu, a journalist from Brazilian Workers Television, said that when I first came to Baotou, I didn't expect there to be such a large grassland in the city. This city is very beautiful.

Md Sabbir Ahamed, a journalist from Bangladesh's BDTone24.com website, had already seen the beautiful scenery of Inner Mongolia online before coming to China and planned to experience the grassland scenery in China. Standing on the grassland in this city, he felt both excited and satisfied. Ahamed said, "The scenery here is so beautiful... I am very happy to be in Baotou."

The Wuliangsuhai Lake, located at the top of the "Several Character Bend" of the Yellow River, means "Hongliu Lake" in Mongolian, and is the largest lake and wetland in the Yellow River Basin.

In midsummer, strolling along the coast of Wuliangsu, the blue waves ripple and the reeds sway, presenting a picturesque scenery before our eyes. With just one snap, it becomes a vast expanse that captivates the members of the interview team.

"The scenery is so beautiful, it's really amazing," said Li Yunzheng, a reporter from South Korean media North Korea Economic Network

Italian photographer Fabio said, "This place is really beautiful, and I will recommend it to more foreign friends. If they have the opportunity to come to China in the future, they must come here and take a look."

The Beauty of "Green" Transformation for High Quality Development

In recent years, Inner Mongolia has made great efforts in efficient resource utilization and intelligent manufacturing, focusing on green and low-carbon development.

Russian television journalist Akshenov is filming the production workshop.

In Yili Modern Smart Health Valley, the spectacular modern production scene has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign journalists. In the filling workshop, journalists occasionally exclaim, "The speed is really fast" and "It's too shocking". The ultra high speed filling machine in the workshop can achieve a filling speed of 40000 bags per hour.

Yili Liquid Milk Global Intelligent Manufacturing Benchmark Base adopts a world leading digital management model, making the entire production process unmanned, transparent, efficient, and traceable. The project processes 6500 tons of fresh milk per day, and the daily production of milk can fully meet the daily milk consumption needs of cities with a population of millions.

Inner Mongolia Beike Jiaotong University Robotics Co., Ltd. is a microcosm of Inner Mongolia's transformation and innovation. In the enterprise exhibition hall, robots applied in various scenarios make the on-site technology feel full, and the interview team members truly appreciate the charm of intelligent manufacturing.

Intelligent inspection robots have evolved into various forms to cope with various complex scenarios, overcoming harsh environments such as terrain and climate, achieving all-round recognition, and safely and efficiently performing tasks such as firefighting, inspection, review, search, and rescue. The small interactive dog, accompanied by the instructions of its owner, can not only climb stairs, run, lie down, but also bow, causing constant "wow" from domestic and foreign media reporters present.

The Dalat Banner National Power Generation Application Leading Base, located in the hinterland of the Kubuqi Desert, is currently the largest photovoltaic base built in a concentrated and contiguous desert area in China. Overlooking the base from the air, the shape formed by the splicing of 196000 blue photovoltaic panels is like a Mongolian horse galloping freely in the vast yellow sand, continuously producing clean electricity energy for Inner Mongolia.

Zhong Yuzhan, Deputy Director of the Energy Bureau of Dalat Banner, introduced that the photovoltaic power generation application leading base in Dalat Banner can generate 2 billion kilowatt hours of green electricity annually, save 680000 tons of standard coal annually, and reduce 1.65 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, the "forest light complementary" model is adopted, which generates electricity on the board and plants under the board. While developing and utilizing solar energy resources, it promotes desert ecological governance, achieving a win-win effect of ecological and economic benefits. As of now, a total of 60000 acres of sand have been controlled.

Why did the world's first zero carbon industrial park settle here? Chinese and foreign media visited the Ordos Vision Zero Carbon Industrial Park to gain an on-site understanding of the zero carbon development strategy.

Zou Quanlin, Deputy General Manager of Yuanjing North Technology Company in Ordos, said that the park has a "wind solar hydrogen storage" green energy supply system, achieving 100% zero carbon energy supply and becoming the world's first truly implemented zero carbon industrial park. With the formation of green new industrial clusters for new energy batteries, new energy equipment, and new energy vehicles, China will become the rule maker of the green new industrial system.

The four-day activity itinerary is full and fruitful. As they bid farewell, members of the foreign interview team expressed their reluctance towards Inner Mongolia.

British photographer Harvey wrote, "I am delighted to be in Inner Mongolia. The scenery here is unforgettable, and I hope to come back to Inner Mongolia soon.". Journalist Mao Lu from Brazilian Workers Television said that the interview activities were arranged very thoughtfully, and it is very meaningful to work together with media friends from all over the world to enhance our understanding of Inner Mongolia!
