A large number of wild egrets have recently become a major tourist attraction in the Conghua district of Guangzhou, Guangdong province.
Every day, hundreds of the birds are seen gathering in groups, skimming the water and chasing each other along the Liuxi River in the district's forest park.
Sometimes, they can be seen hovering over the river, diving into the water for food or resting in trees along the bank, soaking up the sunshine and emitting pleasant sounds from time to time.
The beautiful and harmonious natural scenery is attracting many tourists and photographers to come to enjoy.
