Yeyahu National Wetland Park Address: West of Liuhaoying Village, Kangzhuang Town, Yanqing District, Beijing
Wild Duck Lake National Wetland Park has a beautiful natural wetland landscape, with thousands of acres of reeds, and many lotus flowers and cattails are planted in the lake area and the shore. When thousands of acres of lotus flowers compete to bloom and blend naturally with the surrounding reeds and alfalfa fields, the artistic conception of "connecting lotus leaves with infinite beauty" and "smelling birds singing in the depths of reeds" is particularly poetic and intoxicating.
Wild Duck Lake is famous for its many lovely wild ducks. Whenever tourists come to the lake, wild ducks will flock to the lake to beg for food from tourists. They are not afraid of people at all. This is very interesting. Besides wild ducks, swans and other birds can often be seen in the lake. So this place is especially suitable for taking children to breathe fresh air and feeding ducks on weekends.
