Beidaihe Wetland Park

Beidaihe Wetland Park is the largest urban wetland in China, with 412 species of birds (1329 species in China), known as "Mecca for bird watching".

In order to effectively protect the coastal wetland resources, create a good habitat for birds and restore the original ecological function, the Beidaihe wetland restoration project was launched, with a construction area of about 700 mu. The reconstruction contents mainly include: demolishing the temporary illegal buildings, enriching the plant species in the area, connecting the wetland with the new river and the surrounding waters, etc. After restoration, the ecological landscape, forest land, water system, water quality and bird habitat of Beidaihe wetland will be reasonably managed, which will play a positive role in further improving the coastal ecological environment of Beidaihe District.
