The rising popularity of birdwatching in the Chinese mainland is giving eco-tourism a significant boost! 🌿🐦 Nature lovers are flocking to scenic spots across the country to catch a glimpse of rare and migratory bird species.
In Yugan County, east China's Jiangxi Province, birdwatching has become a major attraction, with 230 species of rare birds—including white cranes, swans, and Oriental storks—drawing tens of thousands of tourists daily. 📸✨
Over in Yandunjiao Village, Shandong Province, the graceful movements of whooper swans in the snow have captivated countless visitors. The village isn't just watching these beautiful birds; they've established a swan protection station, assembled a dedicated management team, and conduct daily patrols to safeguard these majestic creatures. Many villagers have also stepped up voluntarily to join the protection efforts. 🕊️❄️
Meanwhile, at Zhanqiao Pier along Qingdao's southern shore, flocks of seagulls have become a magnet for tourists eager to capture perfect photos. \"A large number of seagulls have gathered around our scenic spot, and it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 here,\" says Xie Yong, deputy director of the Zhanqiao Pier Scenic Spot Management Center. 📷🕶️
This birdwatching boom not only promotes environmental awareness but also fuels the growth of eco-friendly tourism across the region. Whether you're a seasoned bird enthusiast or just looking to enjoy nature's beauty, the Chinese mainland offers a vibrant and welcoming experience for all. 🌎💚
