Northern Dàqìng Lakes

North of Daqing, shallow lakes and reed marshes spread across the low Songnen plain. The Wuyuer River loses its defined channel here, its waters dispersing among pools, meadow and wetland. Changes in the course of the nearby Nen helped create a landscape where drainage is uncertain and open water merges gradually into grass. The lakes form part of a much larger wetland country between the Nen and Songhua rivers, visited by waterbirds as seasons change.
