Introduction

About 30 kilometers east of Xilinhot, there is a vast and fertile land called Baiyin Xile, which is a famous natural reserve in Inner Mongolia grasslands. The reserve is rich in grass, with cattle and sheep roaming freely. The hilly terrain and the Xilin River running through it, along with the secondary forest, give the grassland a beautiful scenery. There are also many lakes in the reserve, some of which are used for breeding carp and crucian carp. The most famous is the "Three Scaled Fish," which is known for its delicious taste. The Shan Yang and white birch forest core area is located within the Baiyin Xile ranch, with an enclosed area of 1 square kilometer. It is a natural secondary forest on the shady slopes of the Hulunbuir sand belt, mainly consisting of Shan Yang and white birch trees, occasionally mixed with some bushes. It serves as a transition zone between the forest and grassland, and has high conservation, scientific research, and ornamental value. On the opposite slope, there are mainly wild mountain forests, which display a stunning mix of red, yellow, and green colors in autumn. Shaoyao Gou is located about 1 kilometer north of the Shan Yang and white birch forest. It is home to the protected plant of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Shaoyao (wild peony). When it blooms from late June to late July, the flowers are mostly white and cover the area like stars, creating a breathtaking sight worth lingering over. Huang Hua Gou is located within the Baiyin Xile ranch. It is home to the precious natural wild plant resource of yellow flowers, which are delicious and highly nutritious. During the flowering season, the whole area turns golden, forming a typical grassland landscape with dominant species like Baikal needle grass. When summer arrives, the scenery of bird songs and fragrant flowers makes it a great place for tourism. Lake Zages Tai is located east of the Shan Yang and white birch forest core area. With a lake area of 1.68 square kilometers, it is the largest natural lake in the reserve. The reflections of the mountains in the water, the boats floating on the lake, the forests lining the shore, the deep valleys, the stacked rocks, the chorus of birds and beasts, and the sound of the creek hitting the stones make it a sacred place for sightseeing. Yushu Forest, located southeast of Lake Zages Tai, is in the Huosha hilly area. The terrain here is undulating, with sandy soil as the main component. The naturally grown Yushu trees have diverse and elegant branches, presenting a charming and picturesque view. It is a paradise for ecological viewing, with colorful layers of forests, vibrant with natural beauty.
