As winter arrives, a vibrant yet serene, colorful yet magnificent ecological tableau is unfolding within Qinhu Lake Wetland Park in Jiangyan district.

Under the azure sky, dawn redwoods are painted in a deep, rich red. They stand in beautiful contrast to the snow-white poplar trees that tower along the lakeside.
As a gentle breeze caresses the park, the reeds by the waters sway gracefully in the wind, creating rippling silver waves.
The withered lotus leaves either bow their heads to the water's surface or stand tall in the wind, sketching out simple yet striking winter lines amid the interplay of light and shadow.
Despite all the tranquility, life thrives here. Groups of milu deer, a first-class national protected animal, forage in the wetlands.
Visitors are also treated to the sight of grey herons. Some are busy foraging for food, while others take to the air gracefully. Occasionally, they play, adding a touch of wild fun to the peaceful wetlands.
