Dongtan Wetland Park is a scenic spot to watch sunrise and nature photography.

Dongtan Wetland Park is adjacent to Dongtan Bird Nature Reserve, which is the only wetland park adjacent to migratory bird reserve in China. The second phase wetland park is rich in vegetation and attracts many rare birds.

Introduction of Dongtan Wetland Park

Dongtan Wetland Park is located at the easternmost tip of Chongming Island, at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The air here is fresh and the beach is covered with endless reeds. Walking on the wooden plank road is a kind of enjoyment close to nature. Dongtan is a scenic spot to watch the sunrise. Whenever migratory birds migrate in autumn and winter, you can stand on the bird-watching platform in the park and watch the birds fly or perch in the distance, which is a lively and natural pleasure.

Dongtan Bird Nature Reserve

Dongtan wetland is the only way for migratory birds in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is also the wintering place for waterfowl. 165438+1March is the best time for bird watching. At this time, you can see thousands of birds such as geese and herons, which is very spectacular. The best time to watch birds is early morning, and it is also the time to watch the sunrise, so you can kill two birds with one stone. There is an heron-watching platform in the center of the park, which is convenient for bird watching. However, Dongtan is remote and the traffic is inconvenient, so if you want to watch the sunrise and bird watching in the early morning, you'd better live in a nearby town and drive by yourself.

Entering Dongtan Wetland Park, you can see a large area of reeds and wetland lakes after passing through wetland landscape area, wetland habitat restoration area, waterfowl habitat and rainwater collection area in turn. In summer, you can see all kinds of flowers and plants in the grass here, but it is difficult to see migratory birds. You can go hiking in the park, or take a battery car (round trip 10 yuan/person) and rent a bike to ride (20 yuan for the first two hours, 30 yuan for two people, 40 yuan for mountain bike, and 200 yuan for single/double bike and 500 yuan for mountain bike). It's very tiring to walk all the way, but the battery car takes the big loop and some small scenic spots can't be reached. It is suggested to rent a bike instead of walking.

There are also cruise ships in the park (one-way to 40 yuan, free for children under 1 meter), which can be taken from the visitor center to the depths of the park. In the wetland habitat restoration area and waterfowl habitat in the park, there are boating activities (30 yuan in the first hour, overtime is counted), as well as paid activities such as barbecue, camping and fishing. There is a restaurant in the center, a fragrant meadow and a sea view building in the park, which can provide Chinese set meals and western cakes, but the price is more expensive and there are fewer grocery stores in the park. It is recommended to bring some dry food and water.
