Nansha Wetland Park, Ecological park in Nansha District, Guangzhou, China
Nansha Wetland Park spreads across an estuary on the Pearl River's west bank with raised wooden walkways threading through the landscape. The grounds contain water lily fields, dense mangrove forests, and several water channels that allow visitors to move through different zones.
The area was restored in the late 2000s to revive the Pearl River ecosystem and establish legal protection. This effort repaired damage from earlier development and construction activities.
Local residents value this place for its role in cleaning the water and protecting wildlife across the region. The mangrove forests and wetland areas matter to people in Guangzhou as a space to connect with nature.
The best time to visit is early morning when the air is cooler and wildlife is more active. Comfortable shoes and insect protection are recommended, as the paths pass through wet and marshy areas.
Over a hundred bird species use these wetlands seasonally as resting and breeding grounds during their migrations. These regular bird movements make the site a valuable station on important flight routes across Asia.
