Recently, a photographer captured a breathtaking view of Dianchi Lake in Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province.

As dusk settled, moonlight spilled over the crystal-clear water. Birds perch on branches under the moonlight, unfolding a scene of pristine beauty and serenity.

Since October, flocks of migratory birds have arrived at the wetland to spend the winter. Years of conservation efforts have turned the wetland into a haven for these wintering birds to rest and forage.
