Napahai Nature Reserve
This is a paradise for birds, where you can find black-necked cranes, black stork, grey cranes and many other precious bird species. The highlight of this lake is that it is a seasonal lake which means you can appreciate different scenes in different seasons. In summer and autumn, due to the large amount of rainwater, the lakes of Napahai rapidly expand. Then in winter and spring, monsoon return back and rainfall decreases significantly so the lakes also shrink and a large area of swamps and meadows will therefore come back. Migrant birds like black-necked cranes also love the weather and swamps and meadow in winter, so they were never absent during winter time.
