Residents often prepare food to welcome and feed the birds and see them off again.

With a number of wetland parks, Yinchuan is listed among the first group of international cities to provide a suitable place for the gulls to pause.

In the city's Yange Lake community, the green coverage rate has reached nearly 41 percent, with water areas at 3.8 percent.

And many local hotels, restaurants and barber shops are named for the black-headed gulls, and residents and animals live in harmony.
