Every spring and autumn, the skies over Northeast China come alive with one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles: the migration of endangered Siberian cranes. This year, the Momoge Wetlands in Jilin Province have become a viral-worthy hotspot as thousands of these rare birds make their critical pitstop during their epic journey.
Dubbed the 'Hometown of White Cranes,' Zhenlai County hosts over 60% of the global Siberian crane population during migration seasons. With fewer than 6,000 left worldwide, this wetland is like a 5-star hotel for the birds—offering rest, food, and safety.
China Media Group reporter Han Ziqiao recently went LIVE from the wetlands, showing flocks of cranes dancing in golden reeds. 'It’s like a real-life nature documentary,' one viewer commented. The coverage highlights China’s conservation efforts, with local teams monitoring habitats and ensuring minimal human disruption.
Why care? These cranes aren’t just Insta-worthy—they’re ecological ambassadors. Their migration path spans Russia, China, and beyond, making their survival a global priority. For young travelers and eco-enthusiasts, Momoge is now a bucket-list destination to witness wildlife resilience firsthand.
