Yulin, a border region between the Loess Plateau and the Maowusu Desert, stands in the northernmost part of Shaanxi Province.

Boasting a history of over 4,000 years, Yulin is home to abundant historical and cultural sites, including the Shimao ruins and "Zhenbeitai" watchtower.

The city is endowed with rich natural resources like coal and natural gas, making it a major energy hub in China. With its commitment to green development, Yulin positions itself to play an important role in China's energy transition. (Xinhua/Zhang Bowen)
