As a hint of coolness swept over the grassland of the Hulunbuir prairie in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region in September, rows of mechanical cutters roared out to harvest the grass every day. Bundles of forage grass were scattered across the vast grassland, to be consumed later by livestock.

The scene in the northern part of the State-owned grassland in Xin Barga Right Banner in Inner Mongolia shows an abundant harvest. The spectacle is always a tourist attraction, attracting many from outside the region.
