Lyu Haowei and his colleagues are mainly in charge of cleaning up garbage scattered on the cliffs of a glacier park on Yulong Snow Mountain, southwest China's Yunnan Province. Another group workers like He Dejun clean garbage near the boardwalks of the scenic spot. Having worked at the park for over eight years, both of them have witnessed an increase in environmental awareness among tourists with less casual littering. The snow-capped Yulong Snow Mountain is located in the northwest of the city of Lijiang with the main peak elevation being 5,596 meters. There are 19 glaciers in the mountain. Great efforts have been made to protect local ecological system. (Xinhua/Chen Xinbo)
