Brief Introduction
It is said that if the Qinghai Lake was a crown on the head of the plateau, then the Bird Island would be the largest pearl on it.

Located in the northwestern corner of Qinghai Lake, the Birds Island, less than 1 square kilometer, is a natural habitat of more than 100,000 migrant birds, including bar-headed geese, ruddy shell-ducks, cormorants, swans, and brown-headed gulls from southern China and the Indian Ocean.

Features
Between May and July are the best time for admiring the birds when many of the birds migrate here to breed and take their summer holidays. The flying birds blot out the sky and cover the sun, forming a splendid view on the island. Then why does the island attract so many birds? Because it has a flat physiognomy and mild climate, and is close to the water, which produces rich float grasses and fishes. The quiet environment here is a enjoyable space for the birds to reproduce and inhabit.
