Imagine transforming a dusty, windswept village into a lush cultural hotspot. That’s exactly what happened in Longwangba, a once-barren corner of northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region! 🌪️→🌳
Through eco-relocation and massive reforestation efforts, residents have turned their home into a thriving green paradise. Now, visitors flock to experience cozy homestays, vibrant local crafts, and breathtaking landscapes.
