Guess who’s getting ready for an epic journey? 🦢🐦 The wild swans of Korla in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are preparing to fly back home!
Each year, these beautiful birds choose Korla’s Peacock River as their winter getaway. For 19 years straight, the swans have made this city their cozy retreat during the chilly months. This year, around 520 swans have enjoyed their stay in Korla!
As spring approaches, the swans are getting ready to flap their wings and head back to Bayanbulak, their summer home. Isn’t it amazing how they know exactly when to go?
The people of Korla love their feathery visitors and look forward to welcoming them back next winter. Safe travels, swans! 👋
