Kunming Lake in early winter in Xi'an - a bird paradise.

In winter, Kunming Lake becomes lively again as more and more birds come here to spend the winter. As an observation point for wild bird resources in Xi'an, Kunming Lake has created a rare green space for birds to inhabit with its suitable climate and good ecological conditions. The snow-like reeds and the nimble flying birds create a beautiful and poetic picture. Kunming Lake has abundant water and grass, good air and lush vegetation, which provide good living conditions for birds and a rich source of food and habitat for migratory birds that come here for wintering or transit. A large number of birds roam freely here, and many migratory birds have become resident birds in Kunming Lake and have made it their home. To facilitate tourists' viewing, the scenic area has set up 9 bird-watching spots along the lake, where tourists can not only enjoy the scenery but also observe the activities of various waterfowl and migratory birds at close range. Here, there are more than 60 common bird species, such as the agile grey starling, the cute white wagtail, the elegant little egret, the brilliant mandarin duck, the clever bar-headed goose, and more than 20 rare bird species, such as the black swan, flying and playing on the lake. It is a veritable bird paradise, and you can take beautiful natural pictures at will. Flocks of birds swim leisurely in the water, occasionally diving into the water to hunt, or lightly passing under the water, stirring up a circle of tiny ripples; some spread their wings and fly high, drawing graceful arcs; some stand quietly on the shore, as if thinking secretly, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the wonder and beauty of nature. When the weekend comes, many parents take their children outdoors to watch birds. Many bird lovers bring binoculars to capture the moment when birds are hunting or their cute appearance when they are preening their feathers. It can not only relax your body and mind and exercise your eyesight, but also allow you to learn a lot of new knowledge while playing and enhance the relationship between parents and children. As deep winter approaches, the number of migratory birds will continue to increase. By then, these beautiful creatures will forage for food, fly, and live leisurely by the Kunming Lake, once again presenting the spectacular sight of "thousands of birds flying together". Come to this ecological hotbed and feel the vitality and vigor of winter. ✨Warm reminder: Please watch in a civilized manner, do not scare or chase, and keep an appropriate distance to provide these distant friends with a good living environment.
