Xinyuan County, China
In the north-western corner of China where the Xinjiang Region wedges in along the borders of Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan, the landscape may challenge many Westerners’ mental picture of China. The green hills of Xinyuan County recall the Great Smoky Mountains of the US or the Cumbrian countryside in England. And in spring, the wild red apricot trees cover the slopes with bursts of pink blossoms.
