Along the enchanting shoreline of Laohuwei in Lyushunkou District of Dalian, the sea ice has given way to the gentle waves. Basked in the warm embrace of the sun, over thirty white swans glide with ease over the azure waters. They frolic and forage, occasionally preening their plumage in a graceful manner, or fluttering their wings to soar to the clear blue expanse of the sky.
