Covering an area of over 60 hectare, Nanhaizi Elk Park is the first natural reserve for free-ranging elks in China, offering marshes, grassland, ponds, and forest. Originated in China, elk was discovered by priest David of France in 1865. Since then, some elks were shipped to Europe. The elks lived in Nanhaizi Park is still keeping the original appearance of elk.
Nanhaizi has lush reeds and marshes, providing sound habitat for elks to survive and thrive. During a short span of 8 years, the number of elks in Nanhaizi Elk Park has increased from 20 to around 200, making the Park the second largest elk park in the world and restoring the original scene of Nanhaizi. Elk Park has also brought in hog deer, sika deer, white-lipped deer, wapiti, red deer, and other cervidae animals, making the Park a research center and museum of cervidae animals in China. Come here for elks this weekend.
