Oriental White Stork Returns to Longjiang
In early spring on the banks of the Black Dragon River, it's chilly with a sudden warmth.




On January 17th, near the newly constructed Black River Bridge in Heihe City, where the snow and ice were just beginning to melt, people once again saw the beautiful figure of the Oriental White Stork.
This year, the Oriental White Stork returned north approximately one week earlier than last year. These 'national treasure' were soaring and flying over the river, resting and playing, attracting many photographers to watch and shoot.
