Where is the hometown of Jiangsu red-crowned crane?

The red-crowned crane comes from Yancheng, Jiangsu.

The Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province is the place where red-crowned cranes overwinter in winter. There is also a touching story connecting the two places. There are many similarities, and there are wetlands suitable for the survival of red-crowned cranes. The local people love and protect the red-crowned crane.

The red-crowned crane has almost become the national bird of China. If it is not because its Latin name is easy to cause ambiguity, I believe that China's national bird should be it, because the "crane" is a symbol of good luck in the traditional culture of China.

Moreover, they are very loyal to their spouses, strictly abide by monogamy, and cranes have a loud and beautiful voice. It is said to be the most popular bird in China. It is said to be the mount of the Antarctic fairy, so it has the reputation of "crane". Even the old people at home will call it "riding a crane to the west" after they die.
