Splashes of red and yellow begin to dot the Ergun wetlands as autumn deepens. Located in the heart of the Hulunbuir prairie in northeast China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the wetlands are a haven for wildlife, including rare birds such as the red-crowned crane and swan goose. The wetlands were designated a nature reserve in 2005 and have become a favorite place for tourists and photographers. [Photo:CRIENGLISH.com]
