Hongshuang Island, aptly nicknamed \"Bird Island,\" is a stunning natural haven located in eastern Fujian Province. Covered with silvergrass, Chinese wormwood, lichens, sedges, and vines, this island offers a rich tapestry of flora that supports a diverse array of wildlife.
Every April to July, Hongshuang Island becomes a bustling breeding ground for flocks of sea fowls. Dominating these avian gatherings is the black-tailed gull, easily identifiable by its red gem-like spot on its yellow beak and distinctive black tail. These gulls play a crucial role in maintaining the island's ecological balance.
The beauty of Hongshuang Island is just one highlight of the Journeys in Nature: Eastern Fujian Series, which explores the region's rich biodiversity. From the goats grazing on seaside mountains to the sea birds nesting on cliffs, the series offers an in-depth look at where mountains meet the ocean, showcasing the intricate connections within this vibrant ecosystem.
