Beijing Wild Duck Lake National Wetland Park

Address: West of Liuhao Ying Village, Kangzhuang Town, Yanqing District, Beijing Ticket: 50 RMB for adults Opening Hours: 9:00-17:00 The park covers a total area of 283.4 hectares. It is home to more than 300 species of birds and is an important habitat for birds in Beijing. Because I didn't arrive early, I got there after 10 o'clock. By that time, there were no telescopes available for rent. So I entered the park, and just as I did, I was stunned by the blooming white crabapple flowers on both sides. The crabapple flowers at the Crabapple Flower Creek had withered, but here they were in full bloom, standing tall and pure white among the green leaves. When the wind blew, it was like snowflakes falling down, so beautiful! The park is quite large, so it doesn't seem crowded. I rented a two-person electric car, with a 500 RMB deposit and a rate of 120 RMB per hour, with additional time charged by the half-hour. For example, if you use it for 1 hour and 25 minutes, the total cost is 180 RMB. If you drive the electric car non-stop, it would take about an hour to go around the park. Driving around the lake. The scenery of the park is really beautiful. There is a lake in the center, with a boardwalk to walk on. On the outskirts of the lake, there are many bird-watching platforms for observing birds. Next to the platforms, there are introductions to the birds. A total of 348 species of birds have been recorded in the wetland park, including 19 national first-class protected species such as the Golden Eagle, Black Stork, Oriental White Stork, White-naped Crane, and White-tailed Sea Eagle. Many people were observing and recording with specialized telescopes. I saw the white cranes from a distance, but didn't see the others. The lake and mountains make for a beautiful view. I passed by the Wild Duck Lake Beacon Tower, which is said to have been built during the Ming Dynasty. After hundreds of years of erosion, only a square rammed earth core remains, telling the vicissitudes of history. During the May Day holiday, the scenic spots in the city are crowded with people, but you can come here for a visit, where it's less crowded and the scenery is beautiful.
