Imagine a sea of feathers gliding over a mirror-like lake—that's autumn at Aweitan Reservoir in Altay, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the Chinese mainland! 🦅🪶 As migratory birds head south, this hidden oasis along the lower Kelan River bursts into life.
Egrets tiptoe through shallow waters, wild ducks quack cheerfully, and flocks of geese carve V-shapes against the clear sky. The blend of golden reed beds, crisp air and shimmering water turns every moment into a wildlife masterpiece.
But awe-inspiring views are just the beginning. Thanks to local conservation efforts, Aweitan Reservoir has become a crucial stopover, giving these feathered travelers the rest and nourishment they need to complete their epic journeys.
Whether you're into birdwatching, photography or simply love nature's wonders, Aweitan Reservoir is an autumn must-see. Pack your binoculars, snap your camera and get ready for a front-row seat to one of nature's coolest shows! 🌾📸
