Wild Duck Lake Resort

Wild Duck Lake Resort

The largest wetland bird nature reserve in North China and the only one in Beijing, Beijing Wild Duck Lake is located by Guanting Lake at the foot of the Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing County. With over 1.5 million square meters of water surface, its well-preserved natural environment led to its approval as a municipal-level wetland bird nature reserve by the Beijing Municipal Government in December 2000.

Boasting the largest wetland area in North China, Wild Duck Lake Wetland ranks first in the region with over 50,000 acres of marshland and rich vegetation. Its extensive mudflats have made it an ideal stopover and habitat for migratory birds traveling between north and south in winter and spring. Observations have recorded over 150 species of birds from 42 families across 16 orders, including 16 nationally protected species such as the golden eagle, great bustard, common crane, and whooper swan. Currently, the site features farm-style courtyard accommodations and uniquely designed standalone villas that can accommodate up to 300 people for research, lodging, dining, leisure, vacationing, and entertainment.

Scholars and visitors who come here for research and leisure not only enjoy the charm of staying in a farmhouse and dining on rural cuisine, but also experience the immersive feeling of being in nature by observing and listening to the chirping and calls of various birds in the wetland around six or seven in the morning. It also serves as an ideal teaching base for natural biology education in primary, middle, and high schools, as well as one of the best sites for national research on rare, typical, and unique bird species. We warmly welcome scholars and investors from home and abroad to visit, study, and develop the area, and we also extend a special invitation to both domestic and international tourists to come and relax and vacation here.
