Rare migratory birds flock to Jilin wetlands

Located on the border of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces and the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, the Momoge National Nature Reserve in Baicheng city has rich natural resources and is a key habitat for migratory birds in China.

It is one of the nine major global bird migration routes, with more than 5 million migratory birds passing through every year.

The number of white cranes stopping in the reserve in spring and autumn has stabilized at around 3,500, with a resting period of about 100 days every year.
