Hanshiqiao Wetland Nature Reserve

Hanshiqiao Wetland Nature Reserve

Hanshiqiao Wetland Nature Reserve is a national AAA-level tourist attraction, a national nature reserve, and a science education base.

Hanshiqiao Wetland is located in the plains of eastern Beijing and is the only remaining large-scale reed marsh-type natural wetland in the Beijing area. Originally a low-lying area, it suffered from severe flooding throughout history. In 1958, a reservoir was built here. Due to the relatively shallow water depth, the reservoir became highly suitable for the growth and reproduction of aquatic plants, and soon formed a wetland dominated by aquatic and marsh vegetation such as reeds and cattails within the reservoir area. Hanshiqiao Wetland boasts abundant flora and fauna and serves as a habitat and stopover for many rare and endangered bird species during migration. It provides hydrological functions such as flood regulation, water conservation, groundwater recharge, and water purification, as well as ecological benefits including environmental beautification and regional microclimate regulation. Located in the suburbs of Beijing, it is an urban-type wetland that plays an irreplaceable role in improving the regional ecological environment and holds a pivotal position in the sustainable development of the regional economy and various other industries. To more effectively protect the typical reed marsh wetland ecosystem and its wildlife, the Beijing Municipal People's Government approved the establishment of the Beijing Hanshiqiao Wetland Nature Reserve in April 2005.
