Description of the centre
Located in the hinterland of the Three Rivers Plain in northeast China, with a total area of 2,200 hectares, this is a wetland park that integrates wetland resource conservation, scientific research, propaganda and education and ecological tourism. The wetland type is mainly light
The wetland type is mainly light water marsh wetland, which includes a variety of wetland habitat types such as lakes and islands, and the natural landscape of the wetland is beautiful. The wetland is rich in biodiversity, with 290 species of plants and 177 species of birds, and tens of thousands of waterfowl breeding here every year, including many rare and endangered species such as the Tan-Ting Crane and the White Pillow Crane. Every summer, the wetland park joins forces with universities to carry out holiday practice activities, and conducts science education activities for primary and secondary school students. Since its establishment, the Fujin National Wetland Park has undergone continuous development and construction and has now become an important regional base for science education, with more than 50,000 visitors annually.
