【The Best Season for Birdwatching at Taihu Wetland Cultural Park, I Recommend This Season】

As a nature-loving travel blogger, I have visited Suzhou Taihu Wetland Cultural Park many times and have been deeply moved by the ecological beauty here. If you ask when is the best time for birdwatching, my answer is clear: from November to March of the following year, especially around sunrise, which is the golden season for migratory birds to rest.

During this period, dozens of rare bird species such as cormorants, egrets, swanlings, and crested pochards from the north arrive at Taihu Wetland to overwinter. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, looking around, the lake surface sparkles, reeds sway gently in the wind, water birds occasionally flap their wings and fly by, or quietly stand on the shallow beach to forage, like a dynamic ink painting. One winter morning, I once stayed at the birdwatching hut and witnessed a group of swanlings gracefully landing; the shock and emotion of that moment remain unforgettable.

Compared to the crowds in spring and summer, the wetland in winter is more tranquil and ethereal, with crisp air and wide-open views, making it an excellent place for photography and meditation. I recommend bringing binoculars and a telephoto camera lens, wearing windproof and warm clothing, walking quietly, and avoiding disturbing the birds.

I believe birdwatching is not just travel but also a reverence and return to nature. Taihu Wetland Cultural Park is well protected ecologically, where humans and nature coexist harmoniously, and it deserves to be seen by more people.

Promote civilized tourism and green travel. Embark on a spontaneous birdwatching trip and regain inner peace amid the lake’s light and bird shadows.
