Yanghu Wetland Park, Urban wetland park in Yuelu District, China.
Yanghu Wetland Park covers 0.53 square kilometres at the mouth of the Jin River, on the west bank of the Xiang River in Yuelu District, Changsha. It is bordered by the Jin River to the south and east, South Xiaoxiang Avenue to the west and Yanghu Avenue to the north. Construction ran from July 2010 to 2014, and the park opened to the public in 2011.
The area was previously known as Waguankou Estuary before becoming part of Yanghu Township in 1951. Over time, the location underwent several administrative changes before being integrated into Yuelu District.
The park established a connection with Phalen Regional Park in St. Paul during 2015, creating opportunities for environmental education and cultural exchanges between China and the United States.
The park is accessible through multiple entry points, including direct metro stations and bus connections. Visitors should plan for adequate time to explore the different zones within the grounds.
The grounds support more than 700 plant species and over 130 bird species in their natural habitats. This biodiversity makes the location an important research site for studying ecological systems.
