  Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region makesa crescent arc along China’s northern border.On its northernmost tip is Hulun Buirprefecture, famous as the birthplace of GenghisKhan. Sharing borders with both Mongolia andRussia, Hulun Buir is covered with serpentinerivers that draw sensuous curves through verdantgrasslands. Its inhabitants are primarily farmersand herders. With over 260,000 square kmin area, and 2.7 million inhabitants, this land ofdesert, steppe, and forests, is one of China’s mostpristine regions. However, China’s rapid developmentaffects even its most remote borderlands.Hulun Buir is changing quickly. Roads are beingconstructed to connect once isolated villagesto larger towns. Dirt paths are replaced withpavement. In step with improving infrastructureis increasing tourism.
