The South Sea is the largest wetland in the history of Beijing. It was the royal hunting ground of Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the royal garden of Ming and Qing Dynasties. As early as in the Ming Dynasty, the "Southern Autumn Breeze" was listed as one of the "Ten Scenes of Yanjing" together with the clear snow of Xishan Mountain. In addition, Nanhaizi Park also has China's only elk (commonly known as four elephants) protection and breeding base.
Not satisfied. So, in early November 2008, I walked into Nanhaizi Wetland Park on a sunny winter day with awe.
Let's start with the tourist map. Knowing me, I'd better walk a full circle along the farthest path. Nanhaizi Park is huge. It takes about 3 hours to go around. Want to see the moose, it's in there that day.
It's close to dying red leaves, still waiting for the last gust of wind, hahaha!
The forest paths are quiet, and there are not many people in Nanhai Zi Park;
From the south gate, the main gate, there is a large lake, and the waterfront terrace is also very spacious, and it is very comfortable to walk.
Arched bridges, with a Jiangnan flavor;
It is said that the trees are native to Beijing, but I don't know exactly what kind of trees.
The coniferous forest that will fall is the oil pine, right? Looks like I need to brush up on my botanical knowledge;
The ginkgo trees and ginkgo biloba leaves are basically falling off, but you can vaguely see how beautiful it will be in the fall;
The green corridors, it must be cool here in the summer. When you're upset, coming here to relax will relieve a lot;
Missionary Square, supposedly built like a city wall, which I didn't see anyway. It's a surprise that such an empty plaza isn't taken over by square dancers;
Corona, right? I remember forgetting where it was once. It's also a sundial. A kid asked his father, "Why is this toothpick so big?" A proper snack hahaha!
I love this one, it's serene and profound;
Cross this bridge and you're almost at Elk Court!
Observing the elk's little house, you can see the elk garden inside. Went in for a long time and didn't see any elk. It's cold, so the elk don't come out?
In fact, the elk is not worse than the giant panda, is also China's unique rare animals. I don't know why it's not as good as pandas.
Continue to walk, the lake, reflection, very beautiful, and the eastern suburbs of the wetland park than, or inferior;
In the wooden trestle along the lake to walk, relax and comfortable;
Remaining load;
Old vines and old trees dark cry, small bridges and flowing homes, the old road, the west wind thin horse. The sun sets in the west, the intestines are broken and people are far away.
This reflection is good! I've been addicted to taking reflections lately, hahaha!
Elk Garden, closed at 4 pm! If you go, make sure you go to Elk Court first. Don't do what I did. get to the gate at 4pm sharp and the security guards won't let you in.
If you won't let me in, then use my telephoto lens! Wow, hahaha! Still captured the cute moose!
What a look! Look at you! Fear if you dare to come out, moose, aka the four unlike. Which four of them don't look like? Does anyone know?
Please excuse me, I still can't help but reflect, huh?
Lodge, a bit of Russian flavor.
Leaves falling everywhere, winter is coming; autumn tail, goodbye, beautiful autumn.
