The city of a hundred lakes smells birdsong
There are many lakes in Daqing, such as Dawn Lake, Chengfeng Lake, Blackfish Lake, Lotus Lake, Turquoise Lake, Wanbao Lake, Sanyong Lake, Lianhuan Lake... More than 200 large and small, "city of a hundred lakes", worthy of the name.
There are many birds in Daqing, there are 273 species, and in the spring and autumn, there are many migratory birds migrating, like a large piece of colorful clouds, like a group of wanderers returning home. Aurora jay finches, red-crowned cranes, white cranes, white-headed cranes, black storks, eastern white storks, golden eagles, great bustards, as well as white spoonbills, giant swans, cygnets, grey cranes, feathered cranes, Mandarin ducks, hairy-footed eagles, common eagles, Amur falcons, kestrels, different species, but have a common habitat - Longfeng Wetland!
Under the high-speed railway of Longfeng Wetland, flocks of birds soar.

Speaking of the Dragon and Phoenix Wetland, it is impossible not to mention the Oriental White Stork.
"The Eastern White Stork has flown in, and there are more than three hundred of them!"
A group of photography enthusiasts, crouching, lying down, or standing, set up "long guns and short cannons" and "strafed" into the wetlands.
I saw a large number of birds, with black backs, white belly, long legs, long necks, some leisurely walking, some golden roosters independent, some playing with each other, chirping, as if the sound of nature.
The Eastern White Stork, a national first-class protected animal, a rare bird to see, especially for our part of the north, more than three hundred flew together, or for the first time.
In order to retain this kind of endangered big bird, as early as ten years ago, Daqing bird lovers built a "attracting nest" in the suburban swamp and built the first home in Daqing after the Oriental White Stork trekked thousands of miles. Daqing also became the first northern city for the Eastern White Stork to stay.

Longfeng Wetland, originally called North Twenty Mile Bubble, is a "sewage pond" for the petrochemical industry and urban life, and the smell is so bad that people don't want to go and birds don't want to stay.
It was not until 1997, when a municipal nature reserve was established, hunting, fishing, grazing, farming, and untreated sewage were prohibited, and the North Twenty Mile Bubble gradually became a "little beauty"; Six years later, after changing the water, this "little beauty" built a bridge, sculptures, bird watching towers, and bird science and technology museum, becoming a well-known "big beauty", a good place for citizens to relax on holidays, and a beautiful business card handed out by Daqing to the outside world.
Looking up, the pumping machine kept prostrating on the ground, the building was on the side of the wetland, and the high-speed rail roared away... It is like a natural ink painting that has been promoted to a provincial protected area, with a total area of more than 5,050 hectares and the largest urban wetland in Asia.

Coiled on the wide and long covered bridge, the reporter saw a strange sculpture at a glance: a double-barreled shotgun, the barrel of the gun was bent into a round dead knot, and several birds leisurely perched on the curved barrel, which could not help but remind the reporter of a name: Dong Yi. It is said that the sculpture was created based on his story.
The two polarized roles of "bird protector" and "hunter" are the labels of Dong Yi's life watershed. In the early 1990s, Dong Yi liked to carry a shotgun on his back on the weekend and go to the wetlands to play wild game.
In Dong Yi's words, there was a joy of conquest when I saw a bird that had been shot fall from the sky.
One day, Dong Yi and his friends killed a goose in the wetland. The geese are loyal birds, in pairs, one dead, the other must come to look for. Dong Yixing rushed to wait to beat that one down.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the mate-seeking geese hovered above them, chirping, loud and clear, but before long, the voice was hoarse and miserable.
I don't know why, Dong Yi's hand holding up the gun trembled, and he couldn't aim at it... He suddenly slumped on the ground and could no longer lift his gun.
That night, he lay in bed, his ears filled with mournful sounds. Birds also have their own feelings, and they are also grief-stricken by the loss of their partners, just like humans have lost their loved ones.
Dong Yi looked at the shotgun and felt deeply guilty, and the next morning, he smashed the butt of the shotgun, bent the barrel, and opened another kind of intimacy with birds - bird protection, bird shooting.
Dong Yi's deeds deeply infected the sculpture creator, and the creativity of the bent shotgun and the free bird that fell on the bent barrel of the gun jumped out.
The Dragon and Phoenix Wetlands attract rare birds

Loving birds, protecting birds, and photographing birds has become a trend in this city born of oil.
After that, a photographer waded into the wetland to rescue a red-billed gull caught in an iron clip, which was reported by local media, and the bloody iron clip and the poignant mourning detonated a city's topic about the harmony of people and birds, and thus a festival - bird watching festival!
From the hot summer to the autumn wind, the children support their parents, and the parents hold the children, and come. They ascended the bird watching tower to overlook the gulls soaring above the reeds; Walk between the bridges, listen to the natural harmony of birds, stroke wild flowers, smell the fragrance of grass, and have a deep dialogue with nature.
Longfeng Wetland is a paradise for birds

With fluttering wings, with bird singing, with a bay of beautiful water, a city has an aura.
The popularity of Longfeng Wetland is getting bigger and bigger, not only Daqing people, people from surrounding cities such as Harbin and Qiqihar, and even foreign friends have come to watch birds, enjoy lotus opening, listen to frogs, find purity in the hustle and bustle, and feel the grand scenery of the sky in the water.
That endless greenery can wash away your tiredness; The autumn breeze, the leaves are green, and the snow is glowing, which can make you feel the thickness of life.
