No need to go to Nara, Beijing has its own Milu Deer Park

🌈Nanhaizi was historically the largest wetland in Beijing, the royal hunting ground of the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and the royal garden of the Ming and Qing dynasties. "Autumn Wind in the Southern Garden" was listed as one of the "Ten Views of Yanjing" as early as the Ming Dynasty, along with "Clear Snow on the Western Hills" and others. After the Yongle Emperor established Beijing as the capital, he named this place Nanhaizi. This was the first time in history that royal exclusivity was declared, and the palace was built in the garden, with official offices and yamen. After several constructions and repairs in the Ming Dynasty, Nanhaizi, which covers an area of more than 100 miles, became a beautiful royal garden in the south of Beijing. 🌈Nanhaizi was once the largest wetland in the south of Beijing, formed by the constant changes of the Yongding River over thousands of years, with numerous springs and abundant water all year round. The fertile natural conditions made Nanhaizi a place of infinite vitality, and it is the home of the milu deer, a rare animal unique to China, which has the face of a horse, the horns of a deer, the hooves of a cow, and the tail of a donkey, commonly known as the "four unlike" animals, which are graceful and gentle in nature, and have been bred in Nanhaizi since the Yongle Emperor. 🌈Best viewing point Walk 20 meters into the Milu Deer Park and you will see a bridge, which is the best viewing point. 📍No. 16, Huangyi Road, Yinghai Town, Daxing District, Beijing ⏰️Opening hours: 7:00-20:00 (last entry at 19:00) 💰Tickets: Free 🚌Transportation: Bus 913/453/Xing 16 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to Nanhaizi Park No. 1 Parking Lot ⛩️Nanhaizi Park Milu Deer Park ⏰️Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 (closed on Mondays) ⏰️Deer feeding time: 9:00-11:00; 13:30-15:30 💰Feeding price: 50/person 🦌Milu Deer Park has a separate electric car for rent, with a route that can be viewed by electric car, but not by foot, 120/1 hour 🛶Park boat 💰4-person boat price: 140/160/180
