STORYLINE:
The number of wild swans spending the winter in Korla, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region since this year has reached more than 480.
The birds, under second-class national protection, have been spending winters in the city since 2006.
Korla has set up a special "swan squad" to monitor the bird's number, feed and offer assistance.

"Swans like nothing greasy or salty, so we chose to feed them plain naan bread, with no oil, no salt, which are good for their health. We check the number of swans every day. There are over 400 swans today. We ordered 250 pieces of naan for them."
With the care, the number of wild swans has been increasing
