In Rongcheng, the first five wintering whooper swans landed at Yandunjiao Bay in mid-October. So far, over a thousand swans have arrived in the city for the winter. The Yandunjiao village, known for its seaweed-thatched houses, now offers a unique view of traditional coastal dwellings alongside the white swans, and more are expected as the migration peak approaches.
