Found in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Kubuqi desert is China’s 7th largest, covering over 18,000 kilometres. When China began its reform and opening up thirty seven years ago, Kubuqi was a poor, dry, hot and extremely cold (during winter) land with very few prospects. Only the most stubborn Mongolian herders stayed. Many were quick to escape the biting poverty and hopelessness by traveling south to Beijing or southeast to Jiangsu, Guangdong or Fujian, provinces that were urbanising and industrialising expeditiously.

Tackle desertification, tackle poverty

Twenty years ago, Hanggin Banner, located north of Ordos city was mostly sand, sheep and dust. The ethnic Mongol herders were trapped by the Kubuqi desert; there was little access in and out of Hanggin Banner. Winter brought disease and death. Summer came with heat waves and dust. With direction from the central government, the regional government worked with a private firm, Elion Resources Group, to counter desertification, promote sustainable development and to deliver economic development and better standards of living.

In 2000, an ambitious effort to turn the desert green started. Today, 6,000 sq. km have been greened. The people here call it a miracle. But this is also a testament to the determination of the Communist Party of china to rid China of poverty and inequality.

In 40-year-old Siren Babu’s restaurant, a large portrait of Chinese President Xi Jinping is hard to miss. Xi is celebrated here. Babu’s restaurant is housed in a new village, a settlement of over 100 homes built in 2006.

"I used to dig herbs and rear sheep for a living," Babu told me. On top of running an eatery, Babu also hires vehicles to tourists. Eco-tourism is fast growing in Hanggin Banner as a result of a desert greening campaign.
