Beijing, December 30 (Youth.cn) - On December 29, 2025, in the depths of winter, over 50 colorful wild mandarin ducks gathered in flocks along the Mochong River in Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou, making it their winter home. Some played leisurely in the water, while others flew side by side, blending with the clear river and lush forested banks to form a vibrant ecological landscape. This attracted numerous photography enthusiasts and residents to observe and document the scene. Photo/CFP
