Wenyu River

The Wenyu River is an excellent site in migration season. It comes into its own in late May/early June when the paddies (unusual habitat in Beijing) are alive with bitterns, crakes as well as locustella and acrocephalus warblers. The last few days of May and first few days of June are brilliant here.

The mountains of Lingshan and Baihuashan are alive with birdsong. Phylloscopus warblers, cuckoos, flycatchers, thrushes etc. The place to be in early summer.
