The Lhalu Wetland National Nature Reserve in Lhasa, Xizang autonomous region, presents a picturesque scene in early winter.

White, feathery reed plumes rise above the reed beds, while migratory birds, including ruddy shelducks, swim and forage in the wetland's waters. In the distance, the Potala Palace stands against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains.
