A staff member selects photovoltaic panels to be sent to a photovoltaic power station in Cele County of Hotan Prefecture, at the workshop of a new energy company in Ruoqiang County, Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of Bayingolin, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Sept. 22, 2025. Xinjiang, a region rich in solar and wind energy resources, has vigorously developed the new energy industry in recent years, accelerating the construction of large-scale wind and photovoltaic power base projects. A 750-kilovolt (kV) "power expressway loop," the country's largest of its kind, has taken shape throughout Xinjiang, providing strong support for efficient energy allocation. Today, about one third of the electricity transmitted in Xinjiang comes from clean energy sources such as wind and solar power. It transmits over 270 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity to other regions. Besides, an increasing number of companies are developing clean energy in Xinjiang, driving the region's green development.

FRANCE. ALSACE. BAS RHIN (67) HAUT KOENIGSBOURG CASTLE. OVERLOOKING THE PLAIN, THIS IS THE BEST-KNOWN FORTIFIED CASTLE IN ALSACE AND ONE OF THE REGION'S MOST VISITED MONUMENTS. DATING BACK TO THE 12TH CENTURY, THE BUILDING UNDERWENT MAJOR ALTERATIONS IN THE 15TH CENTURY AND WAS COMPLETELY RESTORED AT THE REQUEST OF EMPEROR WILHELM II FROM 1900 ONWARDS. IN THE MIDDLE AGES, THE HIGHEST POINT ON WHICH THE CASTLE STANDS WAS USED TO KEEP WATCH OVER ALL THE WINE, WHEAT AND SALT ROUTES CROSSING ALSACE. A 270 M LONG FORTRESS PERCHED ALMOST 800 M HIGH, IT IS NEITHER A MIRAGE NOR A ?GRANDE ILLUSION?, TO REFER TO THE FILM SHOT BY JEAN RENOIR IN 1937, BUT A MONUMENT THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED.
