[Explanation] Peacocks mainly inhabit tropical and subtropical areas below 2000 meters above sea level, while Ulanhot is a temperate zone. Few people would think that thousands of peacocks can be fed here. However, 400 blue peacocks, white peacocks, flower peacocks and a dazzling array of peacock feather crafts in the Yilelit Peacock Sightseeing Park in Ulanhot City tell you that peacocks can not only "fly northeast", but also "raise northeast people."
