North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region has recently released its 66 best photo shoot spots – in a move to boost its regional tourism development, according to local media reports.
The hot locations were identified during a selection campaign launched by the provincial department of culture and tourism, starting in early April.
Some 1 million people participated in the vote to pick the best, with the highest number of votes cast for an individual scenic spot reaching 110,000.
The campaign has reportedly contributed to more than 10 million visits to these locations so far.
