In north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Yellow River's mudflats at Bayan Muren are alive with migratory birds. Flocks rise from the water and settle along the shallows, turning the autumn landscape into a lively natural spectacle. Located along a key stopover on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, the area provides food and resting grounds for more than 60 bird species during the autumn migration season. Regular patrols and habitat protection are helping safeguard these vital stopover grounds.
