General presentation
Baiyangdian and Xiong'an
The most extensive wetland on the northern plain of China is drawn by the Roselières, channels and lake villages.
Lotus de Baiyangdian, Roselières de Baiyangdian and Observatories ornithological give the most telling landmarks of Baiyangdian and Xiong'an. Together, they make up a destination where the shores and lakes, wetlands, countryside and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
