Tens of hundreds of wild geese visited Danghe River in Dunhuang, Gansu province, as a rest stop on their long journey to the south.

Bar-headed goose, a second-level national protection species, and greylag goose are temporarily living by the river. The pleasant climate and good ecological conditions here provide a perfect place for them to rest and to refresh.
