In China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Aweitan Reservoir in Altay has become a lively stopover for migratory birds on their journey south. Egrets, wild ducks, geese and other species can be seen foraging and playing in the water, creating a vibrant autumn scene. Situated along the lower reaches of the Kelan River, the reservoir has grown into an important habitat that highlights the region's rich biodiversity and its role in protecting migratory birds.
