Travel Notes | The swans and geese I photographed at Aixi Lake in those years

For a while, I would ride around Aixi Lake every day for exercise. Aixi Lake Forest Wetland Park is a natural oxygen bar in Nanchang. It is a good place for Nanchang people to relax and exercise: the 13-kilometer greenway around the lake is neither long nor short. Just right; subway, library, basketball court, football field, tennis court, music restaurant and bar, Swan Lake, super lawn, etc.; it is the perfect combination of modernity and nature.

This is also a paradise for migratory birds. Since the park was built, geese, egrets, swans, etc. have settled here one after another. About 80,000 square meters of natural water are used as habitats for migratory birds, three natural islands in the lake are used as breeding grounds for migratory birds, and 60,000 square meters of natural woodland are used as summer resorts for migratory birds. It is a veritable urban "migratory bird paradise". I took some photos while exercising.

Here, groups of swans swim leisurely on the lake, and swans and wild geese forage on the grass and roam on the lake together, creating a picture of "the setting sun and the solitary swan flying together".

In ancient China, swans were called swans, hongs, swans, white swans, yellow swans, etc. These words are still included in place names, such as Huling, Huze, etc. There is a record in "The Book of Songs" that "white birds are white and fat", which refers to swans. The word "swan" first appeared in Li Shangyin's poem of the Tang Dynasty, "String the strings to warn the fire phoenix, and cross the fans to fan the swans."
