A vital stop for migratory birds, the Beita Lake in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, has received flocks of feathered visitors as the weather warms up, attracting large crowds of local residents and tourists eager to soak in the picturesque spring views.
The Beita Lake in spring is now a vibrant scene of renewed life. The clear waters mirror the fresh greenery along the shores, as hundreds of migratory birds stretch their wings, soar and glide over the surface of the lake. Sometimes, they dip down to feed and play. Then they pause to rest.
On Sunday, many residents and tourists came to the lakeside to take in the view, immersing themselves in the dynamic and harmonious spring atmosphere.
"I brought my kid here to see the birds and feed the fish. It feels great at the sight," said Bao Jinlan, a local resident.
As one of the first international wetland cities in China, Yinchuan has become a vital stopover site for migratory birds, owing to its unique wetland resources and ongoing ecological restoration efforts. The graceful flight of migratory birds has become an integral part of the local spring landscape, serving as a vivid testament to the success of the region's ecological conservation.
