In the golden autumn of October, in the Dulan Lake National Wetland Park in Wulan County, Qinghai Province, tens of thousands of sandpipers stopped and foraged on the rippling lake. The scene was very spectacular.

They sometimes bathe and play in the water, and sometimes gather in groups and change formations to flutter and dance in the air, making the autumn wetland park full of vitality.

  The anti-billed sandpiper is a wading bird with particularly long legs.

  Dulan Lake National Wetland Park is located in Wulan County, on the northeastern edge of the Qaidam Basin, with an average elevation of 2,973 meters.
