The Swan Goose (Anser cygnoides) is a rare large goose with a natural breeding range in inland Mongolia, northernmost China, and southeastern Russia.

Altogether, between 60,000 and 100,000 adult Swan Geese remain in the wild today.

Chinese geese are a close cousin of the African goose, a heavier breed also descended from the Swan Goose.

They are also on average smaller than other geese, though some very large taxa are known, which rival the Swan Goose and the Black-necked Swan in size.

Species using the site include Swan Geese, Mute Swans, Whooper Swans and Red-crowned Cranes.

Species using the site include Swan Geese, Whooper Swans, Black-faced Spoonbills, Chinese Egrets, Red-crowned Cranes and Nordmann's Greenshanks.
