The vast grasslands of Damao Banner in Baotou, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, are now adorned with golden autumn colors, presenting a picture of ecological harmony.

Recent days have seen the area's rivers and pastures become a temporary home for flocks of migratory birds. They are seen foraging along the riverbanks, flapping their wings, or preening their feathers, adding vitality to the landscape.

Local authorities have emphasized the importance of preserving this natural habitat, which has become an essential stopover for various bird species during their migration.

Not far away, herds of Mongolian horses and cattle roam freely, sharing the lush environment with the birds.
