The beautiful scenery of Qinhuangdao is more than blue sea and green forest. And summer is not the only season for tourists.
Bird watching is a kind of ecological game suitable for all seasons and that’s the reason why countless bird lovers would come here to watch birds. In this early autumn, many people have been attracted to this splendid island. And the beautiful scenery has occupied the headline of the People’s Daily, which shows the ecological beauty of the “Migrant Birds Flying and Gathering” to the people nationwide.
This article vividly described the magnificent picture of the flying birds, and introduced the origin of the bird watching culture of Qinhuangdao as well as some scenic spots, such as The Birds Museum, Geziwo (The Pigeon’s Nest) Park and Beidaihe Wetland Park.
Thousands of flying migrate birds attracted many birdwatchers and tourists home and abroad. Beidaihe is therefore regarded as a bird watching tourist attraction, and bird watching has become an important part of the autumn ecotourism.
The origin between Beidaihe and migrant birds has a long history of nearly a hundred years. Qin Zhenhuang, China's famous ornithologist and others, had investigated birds in Beidaihe as early as 1936. Dr. Martin Williams, famous scholar of Cambridge University, came here in 1985 for the first time, who was shocked by the bird resources here, and he published an essay on rare birds found in Beidaihe as soon as he returned British in the internationally influential Cambridge Journal that caused a sensation among the readers. Since then, Beidaihe has enjoyed a good reputation in the international bird watching and known as one of the world's four bird watching attractions.
The shape of Qinhuangdao Birds Museum is like a big bird in the bay. Visitors can learn with pleasure from the museum about the origin of birds, the habits of birds and the bird-loving knowledge through a variety of exhibitions and interactive experiences.
