Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Spot - China

An aerial drone photo shows the mingsha mountain and crescent spring scenic spot in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province, Nov. 23, 2024. Around 2,000 years ago, Dunhuang was a key hub on the ancient Silk Road. Chinese silk and tea passed through this gateway en route to other countries, while agricultural products such as grapes, carrots and pomegranates made their way into China. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and historical significance, Dunhuang holds a treasure trove of ancient Buddhist relics and art. In recent years, Dunhuang has leveraged its cultural tourism resources and vigorously attracted visitors and scholars from around the world who are keen to delve into its historical significance and witness its modern cultural revival. Once served for thousands of years as a meeting point of the East and the West along the ancient Silk Road, Dunhuang has now revived to embrace new development.

WOLONG, June 29, 2024 -- Giant panda Tian Tian has carrots at the second-phase giant panda wild training fields of Tiantai Mountain in Wolong National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province, May 29, 2024. In recent years, China has made significant progress in panda conservation through a series of measures, including forest and wildlife protection as well as the construction of giant panda national parks. The wild giant panda population in China has grown from about 1,100 in the 1980s to nearly 1,900. Giant panda reintroduction refers to releasing captive-bred giant pandas to their historical distribution areas to live and reproduce after acclimatization training so as to rebuild the wild population of the species. China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) started a reintroduction program in 2003. It has reintroduced eleven pandas into the wild, nine of which survived. In the future, the center will continue to train more individual panda cubs using the mother-cub proc
