Come to Taihu Lake to witness the migration of migratory birds! The ultimate niche birdwatching spot in autumn

Best birdwatching spots at Taihu Lake revealed 🦢 Autumn at Taihu Lake is a love letter from migratory birds to the sky｜The ultimate niche birdwatching spot! Who says autumn is only for watching red leaves? This year I discovered a super healing way to enjoy it—go to **the shores of Taihu Lake to watch migratory birds dance**!✨ 📍 Hidden birdwatching spot: **Dongshan, Suzhou · Beilamei Garden Wetland Shoreline** (Huanhu Road, Dongshan Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City; navigate to "Beilamei Garden Parking Lot") This place has few people and beautiful scenery, with a wide lake surface. It’s one of the best secret birdwatching spots along Taihu Lake!🌿 🚗 Transportation tips: Driving is the most convenient, about 1 hour from downtown Suzhou You can also take bus No. 502 and get off at "Beilamei Garden" stop 🕰 Best time: Every year from October to March (migratory bird season) Daily 6:30-8:30 / 16:00-17:30 🦅 Common birds: - Whooper swan (most visits in November every year) - Cormorant (often flying in V formations) - Egret (elegantly standing on the shallows) - Spoon-billed sandpiper (super cute long-billed bird) - Bean goose (beautifully circling in the sky) 📸 Birdwatching gear guide: ✓ Binoculars are a must! 8x-10x is best ✓ Telephoto camera (recommended 200mm or above) ✓ Dark-colored windproof jacket (avoid bright colors) ✓ Thermos (who doesn’t love a warm drink) ✓ Small stool (to free your legs while waiting) 💡 Practical tips: - Remember to spray mosquito repellent (wetlands have quite a few mosquitoes) - Bring sunscreen (UV rays by the lake are strong) - Keep quiet (you can hear the birdsong) - Do not feed the birds (protecting the ecosystem is most important) 🚴♀️ Nearby activities: Recommend renting a bike to ride around the lake🚲 Route: Beilamei Garden → Fengqi Bridge → Linghuzhu Golden rice fields and reed marshes along the way are great for photos! The scenery here speaks: In the morning mist, swans flap their wings and fly by, At sunset, cormorants form a V shape returning to their nests... Every moment is a poem of nature💫
