Tips:
1. The season to watch various migratory birds (including the more precious black-necked cranes) is winter, and the best time to watch birds in winter is from January to March. At this time, a large number of migratory birds gather, breed and survive the winter. The bird watching season is between 6:00 am and 12:00 noon. Migratory birds first wake up in the morning, flock together, and then take off to disperse for food. This is a good time for you to take pictures.
2. In cold winter weather, the temperature in Caohai is low, and there is thin ice on the road and lake, so keep warm.
