China's Cultural Palace of Nationalities, in Beijing, is holding a photography exposition on Bayannur ("fertile lakes" in Mongolian) a city on the plains of Inner Mongolia, May 6 – 10, with more than 100 outstanding photos that were culled from 9,000 submissions from across the country.

The organizers are the city's cultural, press, publication, radio, film and TV bureau and its tourism bureau who say they are hoping to show the beauty and development of their city to a wider audience, to give the public a better understanding of Bayannur.

Bayannur covers a 65,000-square-meter area on the Hetao and Urat plains of western Inner Mongolia, just to the east of the city of Baotou and near the city of Eros, on the Yellow River, with Mongolia to the north. It has a population of 1.67 million. Its convenient transportation, fertile land, and water and lake resource - it is dotted with several hundred lakes - and irrigation system have made itself a "water city" on the grasslands.
