A notable storm system in an area that Santiago described as formerly being desolate without any vegetation. Over the past few decades, Chinese forest rangers planted trees and gradually nurtured the environment back to life. Today, there are endless stretches of lush forest farms, as seen here near the Saibangba Forest Farm, Weichang County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, China.

Thanks, Maxine!
