Urban Wetlands

Changchun Urban Wetlands represents one of China's most successful urban ecological restoration projects. Located in the capital of Jilin Province, this extensive wetland system spans over 100 hectares and serves as a crucial green lung for the city. The wetlands feature diverse aquatic ecosystems, including marshes, ponds, and streams that support rich biodiversity. Visitors can explore well-maintained wooden boardwalks that meander through the wetlands, offering close encounters with various bird species, aquatic plants, and wildlife. The area serves as an important stopover for migratory birds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The wetlands also play a vital role in water purification, flood control, and urban climate regulation, demonstrating Changchun's commitment to sustainable development and ecological civilization.
