Located in southeast Fujian province, Yuanyang Creek Resort attracts thousands of mandarin ducks to spend winter here. Mandarin ducks are referred to by the Chinese as Yuan-yang - yuan and yang stand for male and female Mandarin ducks respectively. In traditional Chinese culture, Mandarin ducks are believed to be lifelong couples and thus they are regarded as a symbol of wedded bliss and conjugal fidelity. (Photo/People.cn) |
