Move over, Pokémon—China’s Hainan Province has its own rare creatures stealing the spotlight! The tropical island’s Sansha City, nestled at the southernmost tip of the Chinese mainland, is now home to over 100,000 red-footed boobies—triple their population from a decade ago.
These fiery-footed flyers (yes, their toes are legit traffic-cone red ) are national second-class protected animals and masters of multitasking: diving for flying fish, cruising the skies, and chilling on coastal cliffs like avian influencers. With wingspans stretching 1.5 meters, they’re basically the pelicans of the South China Sea—but way more stylish.
Local conservation efforts have turned Sansha into a seabird sanctuary, proving that eco-friendly policies can create real-world fairy tales. As one researcher put it: ‘They’re not just birds—they’re living indicators of a healthy marine ecosystem.’
Travel tip: Add ‘birdwatching in Sansha’ to your bucket list. Who needs Netflix when you’ve got nature’s drama?
