飞扬
“一生一世一双人,三餐四季共黄昏”是许多眷侣的心愿。我们都知道,人间的爱情伟大,其实动物的真情亦纯贞,大天鹅堪称其中之典范。它们奉行一夫一妻制,一旦有了配偶,不论觅食戏水还是孵化育子,都是成双成对、相濡以沫,一生永不分开。也许是对纯贞爱情的崇尚与向往,也许是被大天鹅高贵优雅的姿态所打动,总之,在许多人的心中,大天鹅代表着高贵、纯洁、不朽和真诚,总想一睹其容姿。
在山东威海,有一片神奇的土地,每年冬天,成千上万只大天鹅从西伯利亚、蒙古等地出发,穿越山海,抵达这里,开启长达4个多月的越冬时光。这里就是荣成,著名的天鹅越冬栖息地,也是亚洲最大的天鹅冬季栖息地。
与荣成的约定,大天鹅从不缺席。它们中有的听过悠扬的俄罗斯民谣,有的见过蒙古国的茫茫草原,最后相聚于中国东部沿海的这片海湾里。荣成也因大天鹅而美,因大天鹅而暖,因大天鹅而荣。尤其是在下雪的时候,这些“远方来客”三五成群,时而雪中漫步、觅食嬉戏,时而结伴齐飞、翩翩起舞,与雪景相映成趣。它们生动的姿与态,给寒冷的冬天点缀了一抹灵动的色彩。
好运角旅游度假区内的天鹅湖,面积达6.3平方公里,是在荣成越冬大天鹅最为集中的栖息地,被誉为“东方天鹅王国”。这里独特的沿海地貌、适宜的气候、充足的食物、干净的水源和优美的环境,为大天鹅提供了生活必需的基本条件。“万顷湖天碧,一池雪花白。”如今,波光粼粼的湖面早已成了大天鹅的海洋。大天鹅们聚集在此,或卧或立、或游或走、或翔或奔,相互喙啄、交颈摩挲、鼓翼欢歌,蔚为壮观。
近年來,来荣成越冬的大天鹅越来越多,原本只在湖内活动的大天鹅逐渐飞出天鹅湖,自由自在地游弋在山山水水间,好运角车祝沟、金龄·天鹅湖驿站、俚岛镇烟墩角村、樱花湖体育公园等周边湿地水系和河道也有了大天鹅的倩影。不论是东方日出还是夕阳西下,蓝天碧水、远山白云间,婀娜多姿的大天鹅将这些被冬天掩盖了生机的土地,变成了美丽的童话世界。
这一唯美浪漫的场景,也吸引着大批游客、摄影师不远万里来到荣成,观天鹅恋曲,赏纯净之美,享冬日里的美好。这大概就是冬季最美的旅行方式吧!

Snow Scenery of Swan Lake
I n W e i h a i , S h a n d o n g , t h e r e is a miraculous land. Every winter, thousands upon thousands of whooper swans set out from Siberia, Mongolia and other places, and cross mountains and seas to spend four-months wintering here. This is Rongcheng, a famous and Asia’s largest wintering habitat for swans.
When it snows, these “guests f r o m a f a r” w a l k i n g r o u p s , f o r -age and frolic in the snow, or fly t o g e t h e r , f o r m i n g a d e l i g h t f u l contrast with snow scenery. Their striking postures add a touch of vivid color to the cold winter.
W i t h a n a r e a o f 6 . 3 s q u a r e kilometers, the Swan Lake in the Haoyunjiao Tourist Resort is the largest concentration of wintering whooper swans in Rongcheng and is known as the “Oriental Kingdom of Swans”. Its unique coastal features, pleasant climate, sufficient food, clean water and beautiful environment provide a good habitat for whooper swans.
I n r e c e n t y e a r s , a g r o w i n g n u m b e r o f w h o o p e r s w a n s h a v e come to Rongcheng to winter.
