As early autumn arrives in Yancheng, in the Chinese mainland's Jiangsu Province, the Tiaozini Wetlands turn into a golden playground for wild Pere David's deer. 🦌 Against a backdrop of dew-kissed reeds and swaying grasses, these graceful creatures frolic and forage under crisp, autumn skies.
Pere David's deer were once lost to the wild, but dedicated conservation efforts have brought them back to these marshlands. Today, they thrive among the lush vegetation, their elegant antlers making them look like the true royalty of the wetlands.
Overhead, flocks of migratory birds soar along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, stopping here to rest, breed and overwinter. From spoonbills to geese, thousands of birds find shelter in these fertile waters each year, creating a mesmerizing nature show. 🐦
Travelers and explorers can catch the action up close: dawn and dusk are the best times for photos, so bring your camera and binoculars. Remember to tread lightly and respect this vibrant ecosystem—it’s home to countless species. 📸
This snapshot of life in the Tiaozini Wetlands is a reminder of how nature can bounce back when we protect it. So next autumn, plan your visit and let Jiangsu's wild deer and migratory birds inspire your inner adventurer! 🌾
