As folks venture out into the early autumn, the picturesque Hulunbuir – located in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region – is festooned with a rich variety of deep green and light-yellow colors, creating a diverse and gorgeous autumn grassland and wetland landscape.

Sparking interest among bird watchers, a flock of rare birds recently flew to the Daur Autonomous Banner of Morin Dawa – already home to various kinds of bird species because of its excellent ecological system and environment.
