Shanghai, known for its urban skyline, also hides a natural wonder: its wetlands, which become a paradise for migratory birds during the winter months.

These wetlands, a key stop on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, host spectacular displays of thousands of birds taking flight.

Rare species like the Black-faced Spoonbill and White-naped Crane, along with flocks of shorebirds and waterfowl, create a breathtaking scene.

This guide from the city's cultural and tourism bureau invites you to experience this natural beauty for yourself.
