Recently, more than 1,000 endangered white cranes were seen at Momoge National Nature Reserve in Zhenlai town, Jilin province, as the weather becomes warmer.

The town, which has rich natural food resources and has been called China's Hometown for White Cranes, welcomed these migratory birds about two weeks earlier than usual.
