North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region has recently released its 66 best photo shoot spots – in a move to boost its regional tourism development, according to local media reports.

The hot locations were identified during a selection campaign launched by the autonomous region's department of culture and tourism, starting in early April.

Some 1 million people participated in the vote to pick the best, with the highest number of votes cast for an individual scenic spot reaching 110,000.
