Swan Dance in a Dreamlike Wonderland

🦢 Rongcheng Swan Lake｜Step into a winter fairy tale! A stunning secret spot to dance with swans!

Welcome to Rongcheng! Recommended by a friend, this winter-exclusive wonderland is truly breathtaking! The lake surface looks like blue silk sprinkled with crushed diamonds, and the white swans are as graceful as ballet dancers—snapping photos until your fingers go numb!

📍Address: Yandunjiao Village, Rongcheng City, Weihai, Shandong Province
🚗 Drive and navigate to "Yandunjiao Swan Lake," about 1.5 hours from Weihai
📅 Best viewing period: November to March (swan overwintering season)

🌅 Must-visit moments:
1️⃣ Sunrise at Swan Lake
Swans in the early morning mist come with a natural soft light filter! The best part is fewer people! Local fishermen row boats to feed them, allowing you to witness the breathtaking scene of flocks of swans flapping their wings.
📸 Photo spot: East side viewing platform overlooking the lake, capturing swans + fishing boats + morning glow in one frame

2️⃣ Afternoon lakeside stroll
Bring corn kernels (sold in the scenic area), and you'll be surrounded by elegant geese! They are not afraid of people at all. Remember to wear waterproof boots—these greedy ones will eat while splashing into the water.
🦢 Bonus: Look for the "internet-famous goose" that always tilts its neck while snatching food, super photogenic!

🍲 Food tips:
✔️ Must-try at fishermen’s homestay: Swan egg fried with chives (actually local shellfish!)
✔️ Steaming hot mackerel dumplings, bursting with juice in every bite
❌ Avoid: The roadside "swan feed" is expensive and comes in small amounts; better to bring your own corn kernels

⚠️ Tips to avoid trouble:
• Drones must be reported in advance (swans will migrate if startled)
• Strong backlight in the afternoon, recommended to shoot before 10 AM
• Parking fees are chaotic, remember to bargain
