Beijing Autumn | Golden reed marshes perfect for hiking and bird watching

Beijing's Yanqing Wild Duck Lake in autumn🍁 is not only home to yellow leaves but also golden reeds swaying gracefully. By the lakeside🌊, on wooden walkways🪵, through wetlands🍀, and among the trees🌳, the scenery is diverse. The area is vast with few people, so you don't have to jostle with crowds, and every casual snapshot is a masterpiece. As one of the nine major global migratory bird flyways, the northern part of Beijing at Wild Duck Lake is a place where you can encounter more traces of migratory birds🪶. Those figures that streak across the sky, swim through the wetlands, and wander through the woods, are singing the song of life worth living🕊! 🌾Wild Duck Lake National Wetland Park (4A) ⏰9:00-17:00, no entry after 17:00 🚙Transportation: Walk 500m from the Wild Duck Lake bus station, or drive directly with navigation, parking is 20r without time limit. 👇Time Planning 09:00 Depart from the city 09:00-11:00 Head to Wild Duck Lake Wetland Park 11:00-16:30 Play, take photos, picnic, bird watch Route: 5km hike around the lake 16:30-18:00 Return trip 👇Recommended Route After entering, go right (where you can rent electric carts) Route: Water-friendly platform - Bird Island - Wetland Viewing Platform - Selected Bird Watching Spots - Wanghu Tower - Bird Watching Pavilion 1⃣The scenic area is very large, and walking the whole way can be tiring.
