Lalu Wetlands National Nature Preserve

The Lalu Wetlands National Nature Preserve spans 625 hectares within Lhasa city, functioning as the largest urban wetland system at 3,646 meters above sea level.

Established as an urban park in 1994, the preserve received national protection status in 2005 and international recognition under the Ramsar Convention for wetland conservation.

The wetland system maintains environmental balance in Lhasa by absorbing 78,800 tons of carbon dioxide and generating 57,000 tons of oxygen annually for the population.

Visitors can access the preserve from May through October between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM except Mondays, with no entry fee and transportation available from Lhasa.

The preserve houses multiple species of waterfowl, including Ruddy shelducks, Bar-headed geese, and Black-necked cranes within its core, buffer, and public zones.
