YAKESHI, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Yakeshi of Hulun Buir, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has been an important base for cold-area automotive testing due to its long, freezing winter season. While a large number of engineers and technicians pay regular visits for business purposes to the city, they also provide a stable client base for other services available here.
In the mean time, local authorities are further improving their infrastructure and services to attract more plain tourists for the colorful winter-time amusements available in the city.
