Rongcheng, Home To Swans

The city sets a brilliant example of how people and swans can co-live in harmony, reports Ju Chuanjiang

In the deep of winter, Rongcheng, a coastal city in East China's Shandong province, provides a warm habitat for wild swans.

Driving along the coastline, flocks of swans can be seen in almost every bay. The biggest swan habitat is called Swan Lake where thousands of swans gather in shallow water looking for food, preening, flapping their wings and 'bickering' with friends and family. From time to time a few swans take to the sky, attracting photographers who are waiting onshore to snap them. It seems the swans here are not afraid of people and they wave their wings to show human beings their charm.
