Over 10,000 wild geese gather at Jingxin Wetland in Jilin

The Jingxin Wetland in Hunchun, located within the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province, has recently become a temporary home to over 10,000 wild geese. This early winter spectacle has drawn bird enthusiasts and photographers eager to document the migratory birds as they rest and forage. Spanning more than 5,800 hectares, the wetland offers a rich food supply and a thriving ecosystem, making it a crucial stopover for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds each spring and autumn. The sight of these magnificent birds taking flight against the backdrop of the wetland has become a symbol of the region’s ecological health and natural beauty. The event underscores the importance of preserving such habitats to support biodiversity and sustain migratory patterns.
