(250617) -- BEIJING, June 17, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Balatijan Eremubai (L) drives sheep to leave the spring-autumn pasture in Xinyuan County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, June 12, 2025, the third day of summer transfer. Xinjiang, home to lush pastures, is one of China's key livestock production base. The Ili River Valley on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains boasts abundant grassland resources. Every June, local herders took their livestock to summer pastures at higher altitudes where grass is abundant. Balatijan Eremubai, a 43-year-old herder, lives with his family in a village in Narat Township of Xinyuan County. As this year's summer transfer comes, Balatijan made good preparations. In the past, horses were the main form of transport for the herdsmen and their belongings, but for now driving vehicles make the journey easier and quicker. Balatijan drove vehicles to transport belongings and his family members to the summer pasture only in two days. And he can focus on driving sheep on the third day in a traditional way. The using of vehicles facilitates the life of the herders. Meanwhile the improvement of the infrastructure in the pastoral areas has brought continuous benefits to their daily lives. At the settlement built up for herders, medical, educational and cultural services are also available. The three-day journey was arduous, but Balatijan said such works were worthwhile. And he is confident about this year's income. (Xinhua/Hu Huhu)
