Located at the foot of the Great Wall at Badaling, the Yeyahu National Wetland Park is known as "Scenic Jiangnan in North Beijing". As the largest wetland nature reserve and wetland park in North China, it has a surface area of over 1.5 million square meters, with marshlands alone occupying over 50,000 mu (1 mu is equal to 1/15 hectare).

With its abundant vegetation and intertidal zone, Yeyahu National Wetland Park is a truly fascinating area. The Park also offers an ideal base for teaching biology at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Here, not only can one see beautiful wetland scenery, but also learn about wetlands, and the importance of protecting them.

With the arrival of winter, the autumn leaves have been gradually fading. But the true beauty of the reed marshes lies in their winter scenery. Reeds are one of the most unique countryside plants. Their tenacious vitality has earned them the nickname "flower of life". Large areas of reeds swaying in the quiet Yeyahu Lake look particularly striking against blue skies and white clouds.

In December, 2000, the Yeyahu National Wetland Park was approved by the People's Government of Beijing Municipality as a Beijing Municipal Wetland and Bird Nature Reserve. Observations have revealed that the Park provides habitat to over 150 species of First Grade and Second Grade Protected Birds, from 42 families and 16 orders, including golden eagles, great bustards, cranes and whooper swans.

Sometimes these birds rest comfortably in the lake, and sometimes they suddenly take flight. The vivid scenes bring a great sense of satisfaction.

From October to December every year, migrant birds travel from Siberia to the Yangtze River or Australia. Yeyahu Lake offers these birds an ideal habitat in winter and spring.

At this time, thousands of migrant birds gather in Yeyahu Lake, quietly awaiting the arrival of next spring. Pausing to rest on their long journey, the birds are feeding and relaxing pleasantly by the water.

Come on to Yeyahu Lake, for an unparalleled experience on the early winter days!
