Overnight snowfall quietly blanketed Lhasa, as the lingering warmth of late autumn gave way to winter’s silvery mantle. 

In neighboring Lhunzhub County, the landscape was blanketed in white, while the mountains and rivers stood out in crisp clarity. The vast expanse revealed the serene, far-reaching beauty of winter on the plateau. 

At the beginning of winter, the Kazi Reservoir and Hutoushan Reservoir in Lhunzhub County were successively filled, creating broad expanses of water and lush wetlands. The river valleys offer abundant food sources and favorable habitats, making the area an ideal wintering ground for large numbers of black-necked cranes, which have arrived as expected. 

Against the backdrop of vast snow-covered mountains, flocks of cranes glide gracefully across the landscape, bringing vibrant life to the tranquil winter scenery.
