Longbaotan Nature Reserve

Longbaotan Nature Reserve is located about 80 kilometers southwest of Jiegu Town, the capital of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. This is a long and narrow valley, about 10 km long and about 3 km wide. On both sides of the valley are towering, confronting and undulating mushroom-shaped mountains. Between the two mountains, there is a vast flat swamp meadow with elegant natural environment. Longbaotan is more than 4,200 meters above sea level, with a cold climate, humid habitat, abundant rainfall, circuitous streams and swamps everywhere, and belongs to a typical swamp meadow and alpine meadow area in Longbaotan Nature Reserve.

The island is rich in aquatic plants, and there are many amphibians, reptiles and molluscs in ponds and streams around the island.

Only their necks, cheeks and flight feathers are black, so they are called black-necked cranes. Generally, black-necked cranes fly back to Longbaotan from Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in China from March to April every year, and choose sandbars and small islands with quiet environment as habitats to nest on the islands. Then lay eggs and have children. Hatching began in early May, and more than 30 days later, the little crane broke out of its shell and followed the big crane for food and play on the beach. June 5438+10, after the cold weather, flew back to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau for the winter.
