Khovor village is a very special place in Alshaa League, in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region – which is located in the hinterland of the Ulaanbukh Desert.

It is rich in psammophytes – plants found in extreme conditions like deserts, that thrive in or require sandy soil. 

The village is known as the green corridor of the Ulaanbukh Desert and is part of China's Three-North Shelterbelt Program. This provides a series of human-planted windbreak forest strips, or shelterbelts, in the country.
