Geese are the most representative, in recent years, there have been multiple observations of geese in Beilong Lake, but in the past, it was only their resting ground for north-south migration, staying for three or two days before continuing on their journey. This year, the 4 Knobbed Sighting Geese have already been living here for nearly a month, and the beautiful environment and human-friendly Zhengzhou may become their permanent home.
