Herders reap the rewards of web connectivity

HOHHOT - Sitting in the quiet grasslands, Qoluman couldn't stop laughing as he watched a popular video online on his mobile phone.

Despite the fact that his village is deep in the grasslands, Qoluman, 39, a herder in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, can also enjoy the many benefits of the internet.

Qoluman lives in Adancholu village, Xin Barga Right Banner, in the city of Hulunbuir, and spends more than half the year herding his sheep.
