Where is Jiangsu Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve?

Xinyanggang town, Sheyang county.

In China, among the people, the red-crowned crane has always been regarded as a fairy, known as the "crane", which means immortality. According to ancient legends in China, people who have attained the Tao are often accompanied by cranes. Immortals often use cranes as their own horses and ride cranes to cruise the celestial world. In the traditional culture of China, cranes symbolize longevity, elegance, auspiciousness and loyalty.

Red-crowned crane is not the longest-lived bird.

People often draw elegant and beautiful cranes with vigorous and tall pine trees, and make a picture of "pine cranes prolonging life", which means benefiting the year and prolonging life. In fact, this is not consistent with the scene in life, because although pine trees have been scientifically proved to be longevity trees, it is impossible for red-crowned cranes to climb high mountains and accompany pine trees because they live in wetlands and beaches surrounded by water.
