Flocks of wild ducks playing in the Irtysh River, NW China’s Xinjiang

On February 20, 2022, people see in Fuyun County in Altay Prefecture, flocks of wild ducks swim and play leisurely in the Irtysh River in Xinjiang, attracting many residents to watch and take photos.

In the riverside scenic spot of Fuyun County, a national 4A-level scenic spot, a group of wild ducks whisper to each other, some playing happily in the slow-flowing covered with ice, some spreading their wings to fly, presenting a harmonious natural scene.

In recent years, Fuyun County strives to create beautiful rivers and lakes with the goal of "smooth flowing of rivers, clear waters, green river banks and beautiful scenery". Nowadays, the ecological environment of rivers and lakes in the county is improving day by day with a clear and beautiful scenery, and as a result, more and more waterfowls come to inhabit.
