SHENZHEN, with its lush environment and its position along the migratory route of birds from Siberia to the southern hemisphere, transforms into a paradise for birders during the fall and winter seasons.
From now until April of the following year, which marks a peak period for migratory birds in Shenzhen, birdwatching enthusiasts are in for a treat. Official data indicates that the city accommodates over 200 bird species during the period.
Popular spots like the Shenzhen Bay area, the Futian Mangrove Reserve, and various parks in the city have become weekend havens for both young and seasoned birdwatchers armed with their cameras. Birdwatching becomes a game of patience and a touch of luck as enthusiasts try to capture stunning moments, later sharing their prized photos on social media.
