After the beginning of autumn or Liqiu, the 13th solar term of the 24 Chinese solar terms, the heat gradually leaves, and coolness comes, heralding the season of migration for birds.

Birds migrate from areas of low or decreasing resources to areas of high or increasing resources. A variety of migratory birds flocked to the coastal wetlands in Qingdao City, east China's Shandong Province, to roost and feed, creating a beautiful autumn scenery. Feast your eyes on the photos taken on August 8, 2021.
