Swans fly over and rest on the Qinghai Lake, northwest China's Qinghai Province, Dec. 5, 2009. Thanks to the improving environment of the Qinghai Lake area, a state natural reserve, over 5,000 Whooper swans came to spend winter here, which is the largest number of its yearly record. The Qinghai Lake has actually become a "Swan Lake" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. (Xinhua Photo)【1】 【2】 【3】 【4】 【5】 【6】
