Northwestern region.
Near Huangcheng Forest Farm.
The sun blazed fiercely, sending sand swirling through the sky.
A convoy of vehicles inched along the desert highway, transporting a media team and a few local guides.
"Uncle Liu, are you familiar with the area around Huangcheng Forest Farm?"
From inside one of the vehicles, Tian Jinliang, a student of journalism from Mist City Arts and Science University, inquired of a local guide, Uncle Liu.
"Oh, we're very familiar with it. We used to bring tour groups here to see the forest farm, but that's not possible anymore."
Guide Uncle Liu nodded his head.
A patch of green amidst the wasteland was the world's most magnificent view.
In the past, Huangcheng Forest Farm was vast, a jade pearl in the desert, attracting many tourists from afar to admire the great green project of sand control and prevention.
So during that time, the business for local guides like Uncle Liu was pretty good.
