On November 16, 2021, a large number of ruddy shelducks fly over the Daxi Lake in Kuoshisatema Township in Qiemo County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China’s Xinjiang, forming a lively picture with reed flowers swaying in the wind on the sparkling lake.

In recent years, Qiemo County has continuously improved the ecological environment, and the wetland water area has gradually expanded, providing a good habitat for birds. (Correspondents: Rexit Yimin, Jiang Ling)
