The river is clear and the lotus leaves are in fields. In the early morning of July 20, a group of egrets came to live on the banks of the Guishui River in Yanqing District. They sometimes play and forage in the lotus pond, and sometimes line up leisurely on the stigmas on both sides of the plank road, some look around, and some fly in pairs, forming a poetic ecological picture.
