On 8 November, two wild white swans passed Rudong Liubu wetland. It is learnt that the two ‘sweeties’ have been regular guests in Rudong.

In 2017, Rudong photography lovers took photos of 22 wild white swans which passed Rudong Liubu wetland for the first time. In the past few years, when winter came, the wild white swans would stay and play in Rudong. It has become their ‘second hometown’.

Rudong became the important transfer station of migrating birds. It is because it has four distinctive seasons, ample sunshine, ample rain, short frost period, monsoon and mild climate. Adequate temperature and climate attract birds. At the same time, there are over one million acres of natural wetland in Rudong, which protected biodiversity and provided ample food for migrating birds.
