Spring lambing season brings vitality to northern grasslands

Photo taken on April 10, 2026 shows newborn lambs and young camels in Altay Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, as herders enter a key period for lambing and livestock care. Local authorities have dispatched livestock technicians to provide guidance on animal care, insulation for newborns and disease prevention, helping improve survival rates. The arrival of new life brings vitality to the grasslands and lays a solid foundation for herders' annual income. (Ardak Baishkan/Guangming Picture)
