  ABSTRACT: This study employs Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar and Kress & van Leeuwen’s Visual Grammar as theoretical foundations, integrated with Zhang Delu’s multimodal discourse analysis framework, to investigate the construction of Inner Mongolia’s ecological image in the documentary Charming Inner Mongolia. The research analyzes multimodal strategies across Ideational, Interpersonal, Textual function and Representational, Interactive, Compositional meanings with inter-semiotic relations among multimodal resources. The documentary portrays Inner Mongolia through six defining ecological attributes: primordial ecosystem guardian, nomadic wisdom transmitter, natural sanctity venerator, ethnic aesthetics interpreter, green ecology perserverer, and sustainable development practitioner. Findings demonstrate that the strategic complementarity of multimodal symbols (linguistic, visual, and auditory) effectively reinforces image.
