Walking across the river, have you ever heard that a girl once came here and a group of red-crowned cranes flew lightly? This is a popular song a few years ago, which describes the story of a girl who died trying to save the red-crowned crane. When I first heard this song, I wanted to know where the story happened. Finally, I saw in the media that it happened in Yancheng, the "hometown" of the red-crowned crane. There are 450,000 hectares of nature reserves here, and about 400 species of birds, especially the wild red-crowned crane, which accounts for nearly half of the world, come here for winter every year. I long for one day, I can "fly" to this place where touching stories have happened and see beautiful red-crowned cranes.

Yancheng Red-crowned Crane Reserve is called "Yancheng National Rare Birds Reserve" (hereinafter referred to as the Reserve), which is the only large crane nature reserve in China's environmental protection system. It is the world's largest wintering base for red-crowned cranes; It is also the largest beach wetland nature reserve in Asia. Approved by the People's Government of Jiangsu Province, the reserve was established on February 5, 2003 and in the autumn of 2003. It is the second hometown of the national first-class rare bird red-crowned crane. 1September 1992, 65438 was listed as a national nature reserve in the State Council,1October, 1993, 65438 was accepted as a member of the world's "Man and Biosphere" protection network by UNESCO.

Red-crowned crane nature reserve is an ideal place for birds to live, with natural vegetation covered with reeds, rich and diverse beach creatures and loneliness. This is the first coastal nature reserve in China. In the golden autumn of 65438+ 10 every year, flocks of red-crowned cranes fly here from Zhalong Nature Reserve in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province for the winter, with the largest number of 1000 and the smallest number of 300. It is the largest gathering place of wild red-crowned cranes in the world, with thousands of geese and ducks.

The reserve is located in the central coastal area of Jiangsu Province, with the coastal beaches of Sheyang County as the core, including some beaches of Xiangshui County, Binhai County, Dafeng City and Dongtai City. The coastline is 582 kilometers long, with a total area of nearly 500,000 hectares, and the core area is 1.73 million hectares.

The beach where the reserve is located is influenced by the marine climate, with mild climate, abundant rainfall and four distinct seasons. On the beach, the tributaries of the river crisscross into a net, a swamp. In ancient times, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River entered the sea at the north and south ends of the reserve for a long time, forming more than 200,000 hectares of sandbars. The unique natural geographical environment contains a wide variety of wild animals and plants such as Cyperaceae and Gramineae. There are dense reeds and green grass in this area. The whole nature reserve floats on the Yellow Sea like a green blanket, and is praised by world ecologists as the "kingdom" of birds and a model of ecological protection.

The bird species identified in nature reserves account for 33% of the existing bird species in China. Among them, 9 species belong to national first-class key protection and 33 species belong to second-class protection. There are 160 species in the reserve among the 227 species of protected blackbirds stipulated in the Sino-Japanese Agreement on the Protection of Migratory Birds.

Among all kinds of rare birds in nature reserves, the most famous one is the crane. Red-crowned crane is a rare bird in the world, belonging to Crane Order and Crane Family. It is listed as a key protected bird in China. Its young birds are precocious, with white body feathers, black tail feathers, reddish head, mostly feathered eyes, small hind toes and high position, which are not on the same plane as the other three toes. Its trachea is particularly long, and it has penetrated into the sternum and bent many times. This structure is rare in birds. China people have loved red-crowned cranes since ancient times, because of their beautiful figure. Elegant and free and easy, known as the "crane", it is regarded as a symbol of good luck, longevity and loyalty. The ordinary painter painted a picture of the longevity of pine cranes. In fact, cranes do not inhabit pine trees, but often walk in shallow swamps or fields, pecking at fish, shrimp, young grass, grains and so on.

Every year, in the late June of 65438+ 10, the red-crowned crane flies here from the north and begins to live through the winter for about 140 days. Since the establishment of the nature reserve, the number of red-crowned cranes wintering in the nature reserve has increased year by year, from 288 at the time of establishment to nearly 900 at present, accounting for about 70% of the wild red-crowned cranes in the world. China Heilongjiang Nature Reserve and Japanese red-crowned cranes are gradually migrating here. What is even more gratifying is that in recent years, even more than 60 unrecorded white cranes in nature reserves have been attracted here for the winter, which has aroused great concern and appreciation from domestic and foreign bird experts.

Nature reserve is one of the areas with rich biodiversity, with 450 species of plants, 379 species of birds, 45 species of amphibians and reptiles, 28/kloc-0 species of fish and 47 species of mammals. Among them, there are red-crowned cranes, white cranes, storks, black storks, mergansers, seagulls, bustards, white-shouldered eagles, golden eagles, white-tailed sea eagles, paddlefish, etc. 12 species, and 67 species of roe deer, etc. The region is rich in resources, which can produce1million tons of reeds and1million tons of aquatic products every year, and export nearly 300 tons of nereis.

Since the establishment of the nature reserve nearly 15 years ago, it has made great achievements and paid a huge price. At the beginning of the construction area, in order to prevent the vibration of the train from breaking the bad guys' embryos during transportation, two workers simply limped away for a few days and nights with a cardboard box full of cotton wool in their hands, and brought back the eggs of two red-crowned cranes from Heilongjiang. Counting from the first two red-crowned cranes, the number of red-crowned cranes exceeds 150. At the age of 20, a young crane nurse named Xu Xiujuan gave her life to save a red-crowned crane that was injured and fell into the river. In memory of this girl who has made great contributions to the development and construction of the reserve, a snow-white statue of Xu Xiujuan stands in front of the Wanghai Hotel in Yancheng, an old revolutionary base area. At the same time, a "The Story of Red-crowned Crane" was widely circulated in Yanfu, eulogizing her touching deeds.

At present, there is a tall "Wanghe Pavilion" in the reserve for tourists to climb and watch; In order to speed up the artificial breeding and domestication of red-crowned cranes, the "Crane Domestication and Breeding Center" was established. "Jiangsu Coastal Ecological and Natural Museum" has a collection of bird and mammal specimens. "Special poultry farm", "Nereis breeding and processing export base" and so on, have been quite stipulated.

Visitors can appreciate the artistic conception of the Tang poem "Autumn is sad and lonely since ancient times, I say autumn is better than spring, a crane walks among the clouds and brings poetry to the blue night".
