Sometimes they stay in the treetops and look out, cloaked in pure white, their posture is fairy; sometimes they skim over the lake to feed, and fly in groups under the blue sky, which is very spectacular.
Egrets are social animals, like to be quiet, very strict about the choice and requirements of the living environment, also known as "environmental protection messengers". The Xianghu Lake, which is surrounded by mountains and water, fresh air, rich greenery, and delicious fish and shrimp, is just looked at by them and has become the best habitat.
It is understood that since 2015, there have been egrets on the small islands in the first phase of Xianghu Lake. In the following years, these egrets "settled" and their number increased, and to this day, more than 2,000 egrets live near the small islands in Xianghu Lake, Yangdi and Dingshan Island.
"Two yellow orioles singing green willows, a row of egrets on the blue sky." In Xianghu Lake, the egrets recreate the elegance of the poem.

Green, grass, silver carp, bighead carp - China's famous "four big fish", gathered in Xianghu Lake. Bluefish love screws, grass carp love aquatic weeds, silver carp eat tiny phytoplankton, and Baotou fish prey on other small animals. In addition, there are dozens of species of crucian carp, mandarin fish, carp, bream and so on.
It is worth mentioning the Xianghu Du father fish, which and the Xianghu crucian carp are the characteristic fish of Xianghu Lake.
The Republic of China's "Xiaoshan County Chronicle" records: Du Father Fish, also known as Tubu Fish, is the most out of Xiang Lake, and the peach blossom water is especially beautiful when the water rises.
When the peach blossoms are rising, spring shoots are on the market. The steamed spring shoots of tubu fish in Xianghu Lake, the freshness of mountain treasures and the beauty of lake treasures, have always been a famous dish of Xiaoshan. Experts from the Xiaoshan District Agricultural and Rural Bureau said that now is the most delicious season for Tubu fish, and everyone must eat more fish.
In addition to fish, there are many aquatic plants in Xianghu Lake.
The flowers are like candles are cattails; the big tall one that stands in the water like a beauty is the cannabis, which is the best choice for purifying the air; the petals are like the tail of the iris, which is the iris as the name suggests, and the Europeans call it "Alice"; "Jagged lettuce, flowing left and right", what looks like a small version of the water lily is the wattle, as the verse says, it is a floating leafy plant; and the Xianghu lettuce, since the Southern Song Dynasty set the capital, has become a tribute to the imperial court... Counting common plants such as lotuses, water lilies, diamond horns, and reeds, there are also 20 or 30 species.
At present, the water quality of Xianghu Lake has reached above class III water, and some of it has reached the class II water standard, the water is clear and green, and the fish are shallow.
