环球之旅:山东荣成变身天鹅湖

Over 3000 swans arrived at their winter habitat in Rongcheng city, in China's Shandong province by Monday, November 21, 2011.

2011年9月21日，周一，3000余只天鹅迁徙到中国山东荣成。

Flocks of these white weathered, elegant birds gather on the city's lakes creating a buzz among citizens, photography fans and tourists.

成群的天鹅纷纷聚集到荣成的湖泊中，它们洁白优雅，吸引了众多市民，摄影爱好者和游客。

The mild temperature in the costal city serves as an ideal sanctuary for swans during the winter period. This year, the local government of Rongcheng has invested eight million yuan towards environmental improvement and protection in an effort to welcome more migratory birds.

沿海城市的温带气候为这些天鹅提供了绝妙的过冬地点。今年，荣成政府为吸引更多天鹅来此过冬，特批了800万人民币来治理环境，保护野生动物。
