Dingbian 🌏 🌱

#earthdayjourney We visited the Dingbian Desertification Control Forest, and it honestly gave us hope. Walking through rows of carefully planted trees in what was once barren land made us realize how powerful human effort can be when it’s aligned with nature. We explored the reforestation trails and learned about local projects that have turned this desertified area into a growing greenbelt. On Earth Day, this felt like the perfect symbol of renewal and resilience. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for inspiration on how communities can restore what’s been lost. Address: Dingbian Ecological Forest Area, Near S204 Provincial Road, Dingbian County, Yulin, Shaanxi, China We explored the Hongliang Oilfield Eco-Transition Site, and it was fascinating to see how a traditional energy site is shifting toward sustainability. We toured the area and learned how they’re introducing cleaner practices, managing waste responsibly, and exploring solar integration. It’s rare to see such efforts in energy-heavy regions, and we were truly impressed. Earth Day here had a unique vibe—real change happening where it matters. I’d recommend this spot for anyone interested in the crossroads of energy and environmental responsibility. Address: Hongliang Oilfield, North of Dingbian County, Yulin, Shaanxi, China We stopped by the Dingbian Wind and Solar Hybrid Farm, and it was one of the most peaceful, forward-thinking places we’ve visited. Surrounded by wind turbines and solar panels working together in harmony, we learned how this hybrid system helps the county reduce its carbon footprint while supplying clean power to the community. The blend of innovation and environmental consciousness made our Earth Day feel extra meaningful. I would 100% recommend visiting this site—it’s a quiet but powerful reminder of what’s possible when we invest in the planet. Address: Dingbian Renewable Energy Base, West of Dingbian County, Yulin, Shaanxi, China
