Bayanbulak in Mongolian means "prosperous spring". The wetland lies in the basin of the snow covered Tianshan Mountain in West China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The area is known as China's swan nature reserve.
Wetlands are vital to human life, as they host a huge variety of life, protect coastlines and provide natural sponges against river flooding and store carbon dioxide to regulate climate change.
