Hulun Buir is a vast region with beautiful scenery, lush plants, over 3,000 crisscrossed rivers and 500 lakes dotted around， Hulun Buir Prairie is like a huge green picture scroll, which gives you boundless views. It is the most well preserved grassland at present in China and has more than 120 kinds of pasture such as stipa, alfalfa and wheat grass, hence being known as “The Grass Kingdom”.

More recently, as this image from Planet.com shows, industrial facilities near Hulun Buir, are transforming theses fields and pastures as gasification plants are built to convert local coal reserves into power, natural gas, petrochemicals, and liquid fuels. In this image, plumes of condensed steam rise from these newly constructed plants.
