Cuihu Wetland Park -- Barbecue and Star Watching

Cuihu Wetland Park, 21 miles away from Zhongguancun, located inside the 6th ring road in Shangzhuang village, Haidian District, is a top choice for barbecue and camping.

The park is an artificial reserve that lends water from the nearby Shangzhuang water reservoir. The park is intersected into different sections including a lotus pond, a reed pond and several protected areas for animals and plants.

With its clear water and well balanced eco system, the newly completed park has attracted large numbers of migratory birds like gray storks, herons and grey geese.
