Migrating birds refuel at Horqin reserve in N China's Inner Mongolia

In the depths of autumn, the Horqin National Nature Reserve in Horqin Right Wing Middle Banner of Hinggan League, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, welcomes the peak of the annual bird migration, as flocks of migratory birds stop to rest and feed.

As a key stopover on the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, the reserve offers stable roosting and foraging grounds thanks to its steadily improving ecology.
