Yuncheng Salt Lake located in Yuncheng city, north China's Shanxi province, known as the "Dead Sea of China," has recently emerged as a paradise for wild birds.

An increasing number of birds now overwinter in the salt lake, a favorable habitat due to its rich food sources, thanks to the region's intensified environmental protection efforts.
