Inside attractions include electric cars, tour boats, bamboo rafts, grass mats, water bicycles, etc. It is recommended to buy a package ticket for a better deal. 🌟Highlights: In the evening, the grass sea wetland is less crowded, and it's especially good for taking photos with the setting sun. Distant mountains and nearby water, sunset glow, egrets soaring, small boats leisurely floating, water grass swaying, wild ducks at ease, all paint a beautiful picture. After entering the park gate, there is a spot perfect for taking beautiful photos. Take a few shots first, then take an electric car to Pier No. 3, where you can find grass mats and water bicycle activities. Continue along the wooden walkway for more scenic photography. At the end of the walkway is the boat pier, where you can choose to take a boat or a bamboo raft. Sitting in the tour boat, traveling among the green mountains and waters is like being in a painting. 📌Little Tips: Strongly recommend visiting the wetland in the evening; if taking a boat, it is advised to buy a package ticket at the park entrance, as buying a boat ticket inside is much more expensive; if you do not wish to take a boat, there is no need for an electric car, as walking on the walkway offers beautiful scenery.

🌱 The Beihai Wetland National AAAA-level Scenic Area is located 12.5km northeast of Tengchong City in Yunnan Province, China. It is one of the rare volcanic barrier lake floating mat wetlands in China. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is a subtropical volcanic rock barrier lake formed by volcanic eruptions 600,000 years ago during the Cenozoic era. The nutrient-rich volcanic ash has nurtured vast meadows floating on the water's surface, creating a colorful and gigantic floating mat. The wetland is known for its biodiversity due to its three-dimensional ecosystem composed of high mountain forests, water surface floating mats, and barrier lakes, earning it the reputation of 'Kidney of the Earth' and 'Gene Bank of Wetland Species'. Over 300 years ago, the Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake visited this place and left a description of the magical landscape of Beihai Wetland in his 'Diary of a Journey to Dian' saying, 'The lake is large enough to cover a thousand acres, with lush weeds all over, appearing as if the grass has formed floating mats, and there are streams that run through it but cannot be stirred.'
