based on 18 reviewsLooking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a place where you can gaze at the mountains, relax, and unwind? Wild Duck Lake National Wetland Park in Yanqing, Beijing, is definitely worth a visit! As a 4A-rated scenic spot, every photo here is a breathtaking sight. It's fun and photogenic, and I've compiled a super practical guide for those who haven't been yet! Must-See Highlights: A Nature Lover's Delight An Ecological Spectacle of Mountains and Water: The park is nourished by the Guanting Reservoir. On one side, the shimmering lake is framed, and in the distance, you can see cascading green mountains. On clear days, the blue sky reflects off the water, creating an expansive view. Walking along the wooden boardwalk feels like stepping into a landscape painting. - "Ducklings" are a common sight: You don't have to look for them; you can often see wild ducks swimming by the lake and in the reeds. If you're lucky, you might even spot egrets, cranes, and other waterfowl. Remember to bring some breadcrumbs (in small amounts, to protect the environment) so you can watch them pecking at food up close. - Reed marshes are a true gem for capturing photos: In spring and summer, the reeds are a refreshing green, turning golden in autumn and winter. The wind sways the layers of reed spikes, creating a natural, artistic effect. Standing by the plank road, taking photos of faces or backs creates a natural, artistic effect. The sunset in the evening is even more stunning. Tips 1. Transportation: Driving from the city is the most convenient, taking about 1.5-2 hours, with ample parking. Alternatively, you can take the high-speed rail to Yanqing Station and then take a taxi for about 20 minutes. 2. Best Time: March to May to watch migratory birds, September to November to enjoy the autumn scenery. Avoid the midday sun; the softer light in the morning and evening is more suitable for photography. 3. Equipment Tips: Wear comfortable sneakers (the park is large, so you'll have a lot of walking), sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection. Bring a portable telescope if you're looking for a less crowded place where you can slow down and appreciate nature. Wild Duck Lake is a great choice. Spending a weekend stroll there will leave you feeling particularly relaxed.

The scenery is very beautiful and suitable for all seasons. I went there in winter this time. It was windy and there were no animals. But there was another wonderful feeling, the sky was blue and the reeds were golden. The wind was very strong by the lake in winter. The temperature was very cold, so be sure to keep warm. The park is very large, but there is only a tourist supermarket at the entrance. Prepare food and drinks in advance. The route around the lake is flat hiking, which is friendly to sports beginners. It takes about two hours to complete the whole journey? It is really beautiful at dusk and sunset. You need to wait until about 4:30, which is very photogenic.
Wild Duck Lake National Wetland Park is mainly Lake wetland, reed green, beautiful environment, there are many lovely wild ducks in the lake. It's very interesting to come to relax and take a breath of fresh air on weekends and bring children to feed ducks. Because far away from the city, there are not many tourists here, which makes people feel pure and comfortable.
Fortunately, it was not a hazy day. The scenery was beautiful. It was very pleasant to sit by the lake. It is more suitable for the elderly and children. As the early winter approached, the bird species decreased. It is estimated that they all migrated to the south, but the protagonist is still there, wild ducks. It is estimated that there will be a different scene in summer.
Very, very beautiful! Wall crack recommendation! The scenery along the way is so beautiful, lakes, mountains, trees, reeds, ducks, geese, birds, etc. Suggestions: 1) Feed ducks on the wooden trestle road and return to the original road. 2) Rent a bicycle around the road (Wanghu Tower is my first photo on the way).
There are large areas of reeds, lotus, and wild ducks here. You can also see Kangxi grassland and windmills from afar. On sunny days, this place is as beautiful as an oil painting! I took some photos at the bird watching platform in Wanghu Tower. After all, this is a place where you can take beautiful photos in any way. There are also bicycles, mountain bikes, battery cars and other means of transportation for rent in the scenic area. You can rent them according to your needs.
