As winter melts away, the Hexigten region in Inner Mongolia bursts into a splendid spring, showcasing its amazing biodiversity. Nestled where the Inner Mongolian Plateau meets the Greater Hinggan Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains, Hexigten is often hailed as the \"microcosm of Inner Mongolia\" due to its diverse landscapes that include deserts, grasslands, lakes, wetlands, and mountains.
Springtime in Hexigten might be harsh, but it's a season where life triumphs, displaying exuberant vitality. The primeval forest in the western Greater Hinggan Mountains becomes a lively habitat for black grouses as they compete for perfect mates, marking the onset of a vibrant breeding season.
The return of green to the grasslands signals a rejuvenation of animal life. Creatures across Hexigten are reinvigorated, eager to embrace the new season. The Meyer spruce forest, with trees living up to a century, plays a crucial role in protecting red deer and acts as a natural barrier against winds and sands. These lush canopies allow shrubs and flowers to flourish, adding to the region's rich biodiversity.
Adding to the natural splendor, the ancient stone forest provides shelter for local wildlife. Standing as a steadfast guardian, it witnesses the endless cycles of life on the Hexigten grasslands, embodying the resilience and enduring beauty of this remarkable region.
