On December 13, 2011, the State Forestry Administration officially approved the establishment of Weishan Lake National Wetland Park. It is the only national-level wetland park in Jining City, Shandong, and the only wetland park in the Weishan Lake area approved to carry the name “Weishan Lake.”
All waters of Weishan Lake are managed uniformly by Weishan County. The park has a total planned area of 150,000 mu and is a large-scale public ecological project primarily focused on wetland conservation, science education, water purification, and ecological sightseeing. Weishan Lake National Wetland Park is Asia’s largest meadow-type lake wetland.
In the coming years, Weishan County will coordinate wetland conservation with rational utilization, in conjunction with safeguarding the water quality safety of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and maintaining the ecological balance of the lake area. The goal is to develop Weishan Lake National Wetland Park into a premium freshwater lake wetland tourism project and a landmark wetland ecological construction project in China, Asia’s largest wetland park, and a model lakeside wetland park.
