The first China (Sanmenxia) White Swan Wildlife International Photography Festival was opened in Sanmenxia, the "city of swans", in Henan province on Nov 7.
Famous for the flocks of swans which migrate to the city every winter, Sanmenxia is now playing host to an international photo exhibition of swans as well as a menagerie of other animals.
As the host city of the First China (Sanmenxia) White Swan Wildlife International Photography Festival, Sanmenxia is promoting wildlife protection awareness.
As the ecological environment improved in the Sanmenxia Yellow River Reservoir, more and more swans flew from Siberia to the habitat for winter in recent years.
