Western China dry region boosts water conservation, management.

Ma Zihan, a primary school student in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's #Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, has recently visited a local water recycling plant with his classmates.

The visit was timed to coincide with the 36th China #Water Week, running from March 22 to 28, which aims to raise public awareness of water resource protection.

🇨🇳 Ayer se inauguró un nuevo tramo de alta velocidad en #China, 219 Km. que unen las localidades de #Lanzhou, capital de la provincia de #Gansu, y #Zhongwei, ciudad de la provincia de #Ningxia.

Los trenes de #altavelocidad (#高铁) son la gran apuesta de #Pekín en materia de movilidad. Actualmente hay unos 38.000 Km. de este tipo de vías y, para 2035, se espera llegar a los 70.000 Km.

Boozy bunny! The first Year of the Rabbit-themed wine I have seen this season.

Magnum-sized red blend by the independent winemaker Jianjun 'Johnny' Liu of Lingering Clouds in Ningixa.

Blend of 90% Syrah, 5% Viognier and 5% Dunkelfelder, aged for 10 months in old French oak. I will do a taste test soon!

Liu, who packed up his life and moved to Ningxia to make wine a decade ago, will also soon release a pet-nat series, which follows up on his first attempts with this style in 2021. (His Muscat was spot on.)

I was determined to visit Liu on my Ningxia trip in September and did so on the way to the airport, impressed by both his dedication and tank samples. He is part of a wave of winemakers sourcing grapes, renting equipment, creating their own labels and selling directly to consumers.
