Dalad Banner photovoltaic base helps with new energy development in N China

This photo taken on Sept. 10, 2025 shows a view at the Dalad Banner photovoltaic base in the Kubuqi Desert, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In the Kubuqi Desert, rows of blue solar panels stretch across the sands, turning the desert into a sea of clean energy. In recent years, the area has adopted a "PV-based desert control" model, generating green electricity above while restoring the ecosystem below. This approach not only boosts new energy development but also helps combat desertification. (Xinhua/Li Zhipeng)
