Late spring brings lively vibe in outskirt Beijing
CGTN

Though spring in Beijing is about to end, the birds in Yeya Lake never stop their activities. Yeya Lake which means "wild duck lake" in Chinese is a wetland that serves as one of the major stopovers in Beijing for migratory birds. The place is at its best every March and April as the arrival of various water birds have turned the area into a busy halting area.
