Chongqing Zoo reports a double breakthrough in breeding rare pheasants: green peafowl successfully hatched 4 chicks, and grey peacock-pheasant achieved China’s first fully natural breeding in captivity, adding 2 chicks. The zoo’s green peafowl population now stands at 19 (including 4 newborn chicks), and grey peacock-pheasant at 7 (including 2 newborn chicks). Green peafowl breeding leveraged highly fertile eggs, professional incubation, and meticulous chick-rearing techniques, pushing the boundaries of assisted breeding. For grey peacock-pheasant, habitat simulation, independent group enclosures, and multiple nest-site self-selection enabled parents to build nests, incubate, and rear their young entirely on their own for the first time. In the bird breeding zone and the pheasant house, visitors can observe adorable chicks up close, watch parents caring for their young, and explore the design of eco-friendly enclosures—experiencing both the delicacy and strength of new life. Visit Chongqing Zoo to witness the vibrant daily life of these rare pheasants

South Korea's two major airlines are making coordinated moves: Korean Air announced it will reduce fuel surcharges on international routes starting in June. Round-trip fuel surcharges for short-haul routes to China and Japan will drop from 150,000 to 123,000 Korean won, while long-haul routes to the US will decrease from 1,128,000 to 903,000 Korean won. The fuel surcharge level has fallen from May's historic high of "Level 33" to Level 27. Although still relatively high overall, the downward trend is clear. Asiana Airlines has simultaneously launched mileage deals across all international routes: long-haul routes to the Americas and Europe offer up to 10,000 miles off, while medium- and short-haul routes to China, Japan, and Southeast Asia provide 5,000–8,000 miles off. Over 10 Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are included, with some routes valid for travel through October 26. ⚠️ Important note: Fuel surcharges are calculated based on the ticket issue date. Even for flights departing in June, if tickets are issued in May, the May surcharge rates still apply. 💡 The summer outbound travel window has opened. We recommend securing low-price tickets early. For those planning trips to South Korea, now is the perfect time to book!
