Hexigten　global　geopark　is　located　in　Inner　Mongolia　Autonomous　Region,　China.　The　geopark　has　plenty　of　geoheritage　resources,　including　the　quaternary　glacier　landform,　volcanic　landscape,　hot　spring,　desert,　grassland,　rivers,　and　lakes.　It　is　famous　owing　to　the　geodiversity　and　biodiversity.　The　wetlands　resources　are　rich　and　play　an　important　role　in　maintaining　the　ecosystem　and　biodiversity.　However,　the　monitoring　and　protection　of　wetlands　are　rarely　reported.　In　this　study,　the　remotely　sensed　data　coupled　with　field　survey　and　experimental　data　are　used　to　systematically　reveal　the　types,　characteristics,　and　protection　of　the　wetlands.　The　wetlands　are　classified　into　three　types,　i.e.,　lakes　wetlands,　river　wetlands,　meadow　marshes,　and　swamps　wetlands.　In　addition,　the　spatial　distribution　and　mineral　contents　of　various　wetlands　are　analyzed.　Finally,　several　protection　suggestions　are　proposed.　These　results　will　be　helpful　to　promote　the　management　and　protection　of　the　wetlands.
