Swans have recently returned to the wetland of Queshan Reservoir in Jinan, gliding across the water. Egrets, spot-billed ducks, and cormorants also arrive each year, creating a lively, picturesque scene.

With clear water and abundant food, the wetland has become an important stopover and ideal wintering site. Large numbers of rare migratory birds gather here during the winter months, making it a popular spot for bird-watching.
