Renewed city finds harmony with nature

Shizuishan, an old industrial city in Ningxia Hui autonomous region, was once full of mine pits and devastation. Today, the city is now full of trees.

City, mountain and water combine in a picture of harmony between humans and nature. Because of ecological protection efforts in the Yellow River basin, the city has realized a green transformation.

In the evening, on the mud flats reflecting the afterglow of sunset, several wintering common cranes (Grus grus) dance on the banks of the Yellow River, an ecological gift given by nature to the people of Shizuishan.
