Visitors to the Reserve are amazed by the sight on the Haoming Lake. Several hundred pairs of mandarin ducks are playing and feeding there. Some swim peacefully on the lake and some soar high into the sky, turning the beautiful Reserve into an even more charming place.

Known as a bird of love, they form stable pair throughout their life. On the lake, these lovers enjoy each other’s company and whisper to each other their sweet nothings: gu, gu, gu. Love is in the air. No wonder a poet once sighed: “I envy no immortals but mandarin ducks.”
