Dongtan Wetland Park

Dongtan Wetland Park

Dongtan Wetland Park is adjacent to Dongtan Bird Nature Reserve, and is also the only wetland park adjacent to migratory bird nature reserve in China. The second phase of the constructed wetland park is luxuriant in vegetation, which naturally attracts many rare birds. "Recent bird monitoring shows that almost every month, some new birds enter the park." Qiu Zhonghong told reporters that the Wetland Park Phase II has set up a water wading bird attraction area, in which a large number of Chongming native vegetation, such as bamboo, Red Locust, Sapium sebiferum, scallion, calamus and so on, are planted, which not only forms a well arranged landscape, but also brings a good habitat for birds. According to the latest monitoring results, 112 species of wild birds have been found in the Wetland Park, including the second-class national protected animals, such as the cuckoo, the white breasted bitterbird, and the black pheasant.

In February 2020, in order to express gratitude for the dedication of medical workers across the country, Dongtan Wetland Park implemented a free admission policy for medical workers across the country (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from the restoration of the park to December 31, 2020.

geographical environment

The wetland park will also build a light beach with an area of 63000 square meters, and put a large number of benthos such as crabs on the light beach, so as to attract wading birds to live and feed here, and make the wetland park a paradise for birds.

By 2010, Dongtan Wetland Park, covering an area of 8.6 square kilometers, will be open to the public.

The park has beautiful scenery, fresh air and clean water. All environmental indicators have reached the national level of class I and class II. The park is located in an important international wetland recognized by the Ramsar Convention, and it is also an important post and habitat for migratory birds in the Asia Pacific region. Every autumn and winter, a large number of migratory birds come here to fatten and spend the winter. In addition, the park is also an important habitat for the wild population of Chinese alligator.

Tour items

Dongtan Wetland Park is located at the easternmost end of Chongming Island, at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The air here is fresh, and there are endless reeds all over the beach. Walking on the wooden plank road is a kind of enjoyment close to nature. Dongtan is a good place to watch the sunrise. When the migratory birds migrate in autumn and winter, you can stand on the bird watching platform in the garden to watch the birds in the distance, or fly or perch. It's another lively and natural pleasure.

Dongtan wetland is the only way for migratory birds in the Asia Pacific region, and it is also a wintering place for waterfowl. November to March next year is the best season for bird watching, when you can see thousands of geese, herons and other birds, very spectacular. The best time to watch birds is early morning, which is also the time to enjoy the sunrise. There is a bird watching platform in the center of the park, which is convenient for climbing and bird watching. However, due to its remote location and inconvenient transportation, if you want to enjoy the sunrise bird watching in the morning, you'd better live in a nearby town and drive by yourself.

After entering Dongtan Wetland Park, you can see the vast reeds and wetland lakes through the wetland landscape area, wetland habitat restoration area, waterfowl habitat and rainwater collection area. In spring and summer, you can see all kinds of flowers and plants in the grass, but it is difficult to see migratory birds. You can walk in the park, or take a battery car (20 yuan for each person) or rent a bicycle (20 yuan for a single car and 30 yuan for a double car in the first two hours, except for overtime). It's tiring to walk all the way, but the battery car can't get to some scenic spots by taking the big ring road. It's suggested to rent a bicycle instead.

There is also a cruise boat (40 yuan one way) in the park, which can take you from the tourist center to the depth of the park. In the wetland habitat restoration area and waterfowl habitat of the park, there are hand boating projects (30 yuan for the first hour, extra time), barbecue, camping, fishing and other fee activities. There are restaurants in the tourist center, fangcaoyou and Guanhai building in the park, which can provide Chinese style set meal and Western style pastry. However, the price is relatively expensive, and there are few canteens in the park, so it is recommended to bring some dry food and water.
