The 52 Jia Wetland was originally the old river channel of the Dongshan River. Due to its low-lying terrain, it was constantly flooded, forming a large area of grassland and creating an excellent paddy field environment. This has led to the formation of a unique and rich wetland ecosystem, a paradise for birds. Every winter, it attracts a large number of migratory birds to overwinter and forage. The best times for birdwatching are from October to December and in April. In addition to winter migratory birds, you can often see mallards, northern shovelers, grey herons, and other birds spreading their wings and landing here. Over the years, more than a hundred species of birds have been recorded in the 52 Jia Birdwatching Area, including many rare species such as greylag geese, bean geese, common shelducks, shelducks, and black-necked cranes, making it a must-visit sanctuary for birdwatching enthusiasts! In addition to birdwatching, it has also become a hidden gem for flower viewing in recent years. Due to frequent flooding in the past, the earthen dikes collapsed, and farmers planted hundreds of Barringtonia racemosa trees to protect the dikes. When the flower season arrives, the Barringtonia racemosa trees that bloom at night are like fireworks on trees, colorful and dazzling, becoming more beautiful as the night progresses. This summer night spectacle is a favorite among many travelers. The beauty of the 52 Jia Wetland is suitable for all seasons. You can arrange a leisurely cycling trip in Lanyang at any time of the year to enjoy the rural wetland scenery. In the summer, you can witness the "one-night beauty."
