km.gov.cn|Updated: February 5, 2024

In Kunming, Yunnan, the overwintering Black-headed Gulls present a unique and unmissable sight. Originating from northern regions like Siberia, these gulls first arrived in Kunming for wintering in 1985. 

For over thirty years, they have faithfully returned each year, finding Kunming's pleasant and warm climate to be an ideal "winter resort" for migratory birds. Over the years, the Black-headed Gulls have become a vibrant symbol of Kunming's ecological beauty.
