Nearly ten thousand swans come here for the winter every year, which is the largest known swan wintering population habitat in the world. There are four types of wetlands in this area: reed swamp, tidal flat, shallow sea and lagoon.

Shaba-lagoon system is a typical coastal landform in nature reserves, and Mashan Port is one of the most complete and typical lagoons in China. The landscape of the reserve belongs to the transitional zone between land and sea, which has remarkable ecosystem diversity and special protection and scientific research value.
