# Weihai Rongcheng Swan #
As one of the wintering habitats of Asian swans, from December to February and March of the following year, Rongcheng becomes the "swan town" in the fairy tale.
Rongcheng not only has a suitable climate, but also has abundant food supply. It is the primary destination for swans to migrate, attracting thousands of swans from the distant cold Siberian to come here to spend the winter.
The blue sky connects with the Prussian blue sea surface, and the sea and sky connect into a line . Thousands of sunlight spread on the calm sea, shining with sparkling waves. Flocks of swans float in the water, and the sea surface reflects their reflections, like oil paintings.
round eyes, long yellow and black mouth, slender and elegant neck, white and dirty feathers, everything about swans is so beautiful that it makes people unable to extricate themselves.
When the sun sets, the sunset turns the sky into a gradient color. The swan spread its wings and flies before the orange-red sunset, and it seems that a layer of gold edges are plated around it. Rip your arms and wings, try to soar upwards, and burst out with vigorous vitality.
In the evening, someone will come to feed the swans. The swans are rushing to feed them and become close to them.

Qingdao is not only the "Romantic City" , but also the famous " Seagull hometown" .
When the sun is sunny, the blue sky runs through the west and east, the rippling sea surface, the freely soaring seagulls, and the retro red-roofed German-style buildings. This is a winter love song belonging to Qingdao.
Whenever the tide is high, the sea breeze blows on the face, and the sound of waves slapping on the reefs and the sound of gulls converge into a moving movement, which makes people intoxicated by . Along with the waves, there are also a large number of fresh fish and shrimps, and tens of thousands of seagulls stand on the reef for food.

# Rizhao Swan #
Whenever winter comes with wind, Siberian swans will migrate to Rizhao . The reed marsh that flutters in the wind, the tender aquatic plants that refract the glimmer of dew, and the wetlands and mudflats are all the reasons why swans love here.
Although there are not as many swans as Rongcheng, thanks to the unique environment here, swans will also come here to stay. The rich ecological environment allows them to always easily catch food, which makes them plump and elegant.
The lake surface is rippling with blue waves, and the white swan sometimes stretches its neck, showing its graceful posture; sometimes spreading its wings elegantly and flying with its wings, which is so comfortable; sometimes lowering its head to clean its feathers.
Groups of swans call on their friends, gather in groups, chase and play, and create layers of ripples, as if they are dancing on "water ballet", forming a lively and beautiful winter picture.

# Birds flying in the Yellow River Estuary #
Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve , known as a "bird paradise". Thanks to the increasing ecological environment of the Yellow River estuary, the new wetlands on both sides of the strait are fertile and the water and grass are abundant.
After migratory birds migrate in November, a large number of crane families will gather at the mouth of the Yellow River at this time to paint a poem scroll like a poem.
Groups of red-crowned cranes will also fly here with their families and cubs, and live freely on this fertile soil to survive the winter and raise offspring.
There is a red hat on the top of the red-crowned crane, with black and white fur and slender body shape. It is also called " Crane ". The red-crowned crane is light in his posture when flying, and his voice is crisp and loud when singing "sings loudly".

# Changdao Spotted Seal #
In addition to the free and flying migratory birds, Changdao Spotted Seal is also a favorite of everyone. Spotted seals are the only marine mammal of the Order 5-Pinocchio that breeds in my country's waters.
It looks cute and can stick out your tongue at tourists . The body is spindle-shaped and round, with gray-black back and irregular brown spots on the cloth, and the abdomen is milky white. It looks very elastic just by looking, making people unable to help but want to touch it.
recently Shandong Satellite TV 's popular Changdao documentary has given everyone a deeper understanding of the spotted seals.
This guy is a complete foodie. The Changdao sea area marine life has diverse resources and is rich in fish and shellfish, providing him with sufficient food.
After eating and drinking, the favorite thing for the spotted seals is to climb onto the reef and slackly "sunbathe". The black reef forms a sharp contrast with the white belly, so that people can accurately discover them with a glance.
They either lie on their side or on their backs; or take a nap with their eyes slightly closed; or keep a round head holding their round heads and pay attention to the surrounding environment, looking cute. When I was tired of lying, I would stretch my waist and scratch my chin; I would turn over and roll, then blink at my companion and act cute, which was extremely cute.
Occasionally, you can see lively spotted seals chasing and playing in the water, and your chubby body dives into the water for food, shaking up layers of waves.

By boat or drive to the Changdao Seal Nature Reserve, you can enjoy the wild and cute spotted seals and feel the pleasure of "lying flat" in the sun.
Regarding the meaning of life, the promise of migrating birds to "never lose their promise" is the most sincere answer. This winter day, listen quietly to the difficulty of birds overwintering, and have a romantic date with nature.
