Beijing is not only the ideal place to learn Mandarin, standard Chinese language, but also great place to learn traditional Chinese cultures, as well as to enjoy nature beauty of China. Our teacher recently took a small group of our students to visit 麋鹿苑 Elk Park In Beijing. They enjoyed to watch free running deer and other animals in this park.
Our students had a lovely time, feeding many different animals, such as peacocks and other types of birds. While they had lunch, all of the birds gathered around them and ate the food they dropped, it was really funny! The park is a very beautiful place with lots of green trees, a large clear lake and grass to relax on.
Nanhaizi Elk Park is located in the east side of Nanyuan to Langfang highway in Daxing 大兴County, south of Beijing. Nanhaizi Elk Park was built in 1985, there used to be the core area of the Qing Dynasty royal hunting ground. 20 elk presented by British Tavistock Marquis to Beijing were stocked in Elk Park, which makes the elk re-introduction project become the world's most accurate animal re-introduction project, and one of the most successful example for biodiversity species protection. For the reproductive rate and survival rate higher than all other elk feeding ground in the world.
