Migratory birds flutter around or rest on a 2,657-meter-long bridge that has emerged on Poyang Lake in Duchang County, east China’s Jiangxi Province. Typically submerged during the lake's high-water period, the ancient bridge, which was first built in 1631, has resurfaced due to a drop in water level recently.
