Milu Park, Wildlife reserve in Daxing District, China
Milu Park is a wildlife reserve covering about 67 hectares with open grasslands and enclosed areas for Davidshirsch. The cultivated meadows and shelters form the framework where these animals live and breed.
The grounds were once an imperial hunting area that lost all its deer in 1900 during military conflicts in the region. The animals now living here descend from a reintroduction program that began in 1985.
The site reconnects visitors with Davidshirsch through breeding and conservation programs that are visible during a walk through the grounds. People come here to see how these rare animals are raised and protected today.
The site is easily reached by public buses, particularly lines 377, 729, and 352 that stop at Qiugong Station near the main gate. Allow time to walk through the grounds and view the animals from various vantage points.
The reserve houses the second largest population of this rare deer species in the world, offering a rare glimpse into successful rescue efforts. The herd grew from just 20 animals imported from England in the 1980s to an established breeding population.
