Four seasons in north China's Xilingol League
XILINGOL LEAGUE, China, Dec. 17, 2019 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

Its name is imposing and its seasons are colorful. It is not only the original 
ecological grassland nearest to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, but also a pure 
land with Mongolian regional characteristics and culture. Xilingol League, 
located in north China, is a paradise where honest grassland residents are 
nurtured. The place's name is made up by two terms meaning mountain and river 
respectively in local dialect. The mingling between mountain and river conjures 
up the most beautiful vast Xilingol grassland.

Spring in Xilingol is a season when everything grows. Although the grassland 
still has some unmelted snow, the tender vegetation buds breaking through the 
snow makes a scene with dreamy aesthetics. When the mountain flowers bloom, the 
season is quiet and clear.

Summer in Xilingol is a season of green fields and cool breeze. The vast 
grassland is infinitely green, while the blue river is flowing. With the blue 
sky covered with soft white clouds, flocks of cattle and sheep are leisurely 
foraging and running. When the summer breeze blows, one can indulge in the vast 
grasslands.

Autumn in Xilingol is a season much sought after by photography lovers. The 
prairie in autumn has no brilliant wild flowers, but withered and yellow grass. 
It looks like a large carpet, offering a steady and thick feeling when walking 
on it. Some flowers are sending the last wisp of fragrance in the grass. 
Migratory birds are flying in the blue sky. The setting sun falls behind the 
hills. The sky is rimmed with golden lines and slowly becomes deep and 
mysterious. It won't take much efforts to take an impressive picture as the 
scenery is so picturesque and poetic.

Winter in Xilingol is full of color and passion. Nadam Fair's grand gathering 
will extend the summer's vigor to winter and spread it on the frozen grassland. 
Colorful ethnic costumes adorn the majestic white grassland, while the 
galloping steeds in the snowy plains set off the winter passion.
