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 there are many lotus flowers and cattails planted in the lake area and the shore. When thousands of acres of lotus flowers compete to bloom and blend naturally with the surrounding reed marshes and alfalfa grasslands, the artistic conception of "connecting the lotus leaves with infinite beauty" and "smelling the birds singing in the depths of the reed" is particularly poetic and intoxicating.
Wild duck lake is famous for its many lovely wild ducks. Whenever tourists come near the lake, wild ducks come to the lake in droves to beg for food from tourists. They are not afraid of people at all. It is very interesting. Besides wild ducks, swans and other birds can often be seen in the lake. So this place is especially suitable for bringing children to breathe fresh air and feed ducks on weekends.
