Spring • Vibrant Greens
As nature awakens, newly planted rice seedlings paint Long Valley in endless shades of vibrant green. Entering their breeding season, birds flit gracefully across the paddies, busy foraging and preparing themselves to nurture the next generation.
Summer • Delicate Lotus Blossoms
Under the brilliant summer sun, radiant lotus flowers bloom elegantly above the water, embodying timeless purity. Newly hatched fledglings grow rapidly across the wetlands, infusing the park with boundless energy and life.
Autumn • Golden Harvest
As a refreshing breeze sets in, the fields ripple into a breathtaking sea of gold. The ripening grains offer a bountiful natural feast for the migratory birds soon to arrive. Meanwhile, amphibians, reptiles, butterflies, and dragonflies catch the last warmth of summer, remaining active across the fields.
Winter • Bird Season in Earthy Tones
As the year draws to a chilly close, the fields settle into an earthy brown. While the flora retreats, winter migratory birds arrive right on time, turning the winter wetlands into a spectacular, lively stage for birdwatchers to capture the perfect shot.
