The Qinghai Bird Island in Qinghai Lake, northwest China's Qinghai Province, is a paradise for a variety of birds. It provides a habitat for over 100,000 migratory birds from south China and Southeast Asia. Each March and April when the ice covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau begins to melt, more than 20 kinds of migrating birds come to the island to breed. Flocks of birds cover the whole island and eggs can be found everywhere. [Photo: Global Times] |
