Among the beautiful and free parks in Beijing, Nanhaizi Park must be on the top of the list, because in addition to spring flowers and summer lotuses, autumn leaves and winter snow, there is also a large elk garden. You read it right, elk are known as the four different ones.

The elk!

Nanhaizi Country Park is one of the four major country parks in Beijing and the largest wetland park in Beijing. It was the royal hunting ground of the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and the royal garden of the Ming and Qing dynasties!

As early as the Ming Dynasty, "Southern Autumn Wind" was listed as one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of Yanjing" along with Xishan Qingxue!

The water area in the park accounts for one-fifth of the total area of ??the park. Functional areas such as wetland landscape, royal culture, elk protection, and ecological leisure reproduce the style of the former royal garden!

Spring in Nanhaizi is undoubtedly the most beautiful season. Peach blossoms, begonias, peach blossoms, and peony gardens are blooming one after another, making this garden as beautiful as a peach blossom garden!

In summer, lotus blossoms and reeds bloom in the pavilion. During the light rain season, you can sit in the pavilion and listen to the rain while admiring the flowers. It is like the beauty of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River!

The good ecological environment has also made Nanhaizi Park a paradise for birds. Now there are more than 200 species of birds in the park.

In 2015, Beijing Nanhaizi Elk Garden was rated as one of the “Top Ten Ecological Birdwatching Bases in Beijing.”
