Through high-tech interactive means such as specimens, pictures, images, ground curtain projection and phantom imaging, we will introduce wetland knowledge to tourists and show beautiful wetland scenery.
Bird watching
In Wild Duck Lake, sometimes birds will perch comfortably by the lake, and you can listen to the humming and chirping of various birds. Sometimes birds suddenly spread their wings and soar, showing a series of extremely vivid pictures. It's hard not to feel comfortable. In summer, egrets and snipes flock to the water's edge for food, wild ducks stroll among reeds, and seagulls fly in the air, forming another kind of scenery.
