Everyone came to the Yangtze River to watch porpoises, and happened to meet a single finless porpoise. Seeing it falling together in the Yangtze River, the children were instantly excited and cheered. Nowadays, the Yangtze River has a good ecology, and the chances of seeing finless porpoises are getting higher and higher.
Looking back on the past year.

Especially when the finless porpoise is close to the river bank.
Everyone will be more excited.
"We encourage everyone to watch dolphins in a civilized way.
