Bayannuur city in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region has launched its first low-altitude wetland helicopter sightseeing project at Wuliangsu Lake, marking a new chapter in the integration of tourism and aviation.

Wuliangsu Lake is the largest lake wetland in the Yellow River basin and plays a key role in water regulation, water purification, and flood prevention.

The initiative offers a breathtaking aerial view of the lake's ecological splendor, bringing its natural beauty into sharper public focus.

The flight routes have been planned to emphasize the lake's ecological highlights while avoiding core protected zones, balancing the needs of tourism with the preservation of this vital ecosystem.
