Interest in bird-watching has grown in city

Curiosity about birds has inspired people to take up bird-watching in the city. Many take it as an opportunity to spend time outdoors and get close to nature.

The most dedicated birders are usually equipped with binoculars and cameras and spend hours at Shenzhen Bay Park, in order to capture birds with their lens.

Others, especially parents with school-aged children, sign up for weekend bird-watching sessions and join groups on trips to popular locations for bird-watching such as Guangdong Neilingding Futian National Nature Reserve in Shenzhen.
