In November, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is to usher in the winter. Caohai Lake, the largest freshwater lake in southwest China's Guizhou Province, is ready to greet its winter guests. The usually tranquil lake surface is enlivened as migratory birds settle in from afar. Of the birds to come, the black-necked crane is undoubtedly the most conspicuous and cherished species.
