North Lake Caodang in Yuhang, Hangzhou, has been reshaped by water for over a thousand years.
In the Tang dynasty, county magistrate Gui Yao opened the original “North Lake” to relieve floods—an effort that cost him his life. Centuries later in the late Qing dynasty, the physician Zhong Xuelu once again helped restore the wetlands.
The lake has since shrunk from 53,000 mu to just 8,000 mu by the mid-20th century, but after the land was reclaimed in 2008, the wetlands slowly revived. Today, North Lake Caodang is one of Hangzhou’s richest bird habitats, with 316 species recorded on eBird.
Autumn and winter are the best seasons here: geese and ducks gather in large numbers, raptors such as Eurasian Sparrowhawks and Eastern Buzzards are often seen, and rare sightings like Yellow-browed Bunting, Hooded Crane, and Oriental Stork have recently been reported.
