Swan River
天鹅河
An artificial landscape river in Korla's urban area. Swans winter here, and riverside parks and greenways are good for walks.
Swan River is an artificial landscape river in central Korla. Water diverted from the Peacock River runs through it, and it stretches more than ten kilometers, flanked by parks, greenways and residential areas. Because the water does not freeze in winter, swans and other waterbirds often overwinter here, which gave the river its name. Along the banks are walking trails and leisure plazas. Entry is free, and it is ideal for walking or cycling in the early morning or evening. It connects with the Peacock River scenic belt and can be combined with a visit to the Bayingolin Museum.
