As autumn arrives, migratory birds return to Ningbo's Qianwan New Area. Cormorants skim the water, wild ducks float across the wetlands, and pied avocets dance along the shallows. The wetlands offer a vital stopover for these feathered travelers to rest, feed, and gather strength for their journey.
