Siberian Red Deer Foraging in Winter in the Eastern Tianshan

Recently, in Baishitou Township, Yizhou District, reporters captured lively scenes of a herd of red deer treading through the snow in search of food, creating a stunning winter landscape. Traffic flows along the highway, while the red deer leisurely spread out among it, forming a harmonious natural picture. From December to March each year is the best time to observe the Eastern Tianshan red deer, as they descend from the northern slopes of the Eastern Tianshan to forage, their figures standing out vividly against the snow. Red deer are northern forest-steppe animals, active in alpine forests or grasslands during summer, and migrating to lower altitudes with milder climates in winter. The Eastern Tianshan is one of their ideal habitats. With continuous ecological improvements, the population of wild Tianshan red deer, a national second-class protected species, has increased, making encounters with humans more frequent. Here, visitors can not only enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Eastern Tianshan but also experience the lively and adorable red deer up close, gaining a sense of surprise and relaxation. Come to the Eastern Tianshan to meet these lovely creatures and create unforgettable winter memories!
