Every year, more than 1,000 swans would fly to a wetland beside the Qinghai Lake
in northwest China’s Qinghai Province for wintering. This photo, taken
on November 27, 2012 by Xinhuanet.com, shows that swans swim in the
Qinghai Lake, making it a beautiful “swan lake”.
Qinghai Lake, covering an area of 4,402.5 square kilometres, is the
largest inland saltwater lake in China. It is home to 189 species of
birds, including bar-headed geese, brown-headed gulls, and swans. It is
an excellent place for bird watching.
Qinghai Lake is a wintering site for swans, while few other species
of bird are present here in the harsh winter months. This year, it has
witnessed a remarkable increase in the number of swans thanks to
government’s effective measures taken to protect the environment.
