A nature spectacle unfolds annually in the Chinese mainland’s Qinghai Province as naked carp in Qinghai Lake embark on their remarkable migration. From June to August, these resilient fish swim against strong currents, journeying from the expansive saltwater lake to the intricate freshwater rivers to spawn.
While this migration is a critical life cycle event for the carp, it simultaneously creates a seasonal feast for countless birds. The rich fish resources serve as a buffet, attracting tens of thousands of avian visitors who flock to the area to live and breed. This influx not only supports the bird populations but also highlights the intricate balance of Qinghai's aquatic ecosystem.
The interdependence between the naked carp and the bird species emphasizes the importance of preserving such natural phenomena. As the migratory patterns continue to thrive, Qinghai Lake remains a vibrant hub of ecological activity, showcasing the beauty and resilience of nature.
