About Hongze Lake Wetland

The public tourism area includes a wetland museum, a reed maze and metasequoia woodland.

These provide three different ways to understand the lakeshore: ecological explanation, enclosed reed channels and a tree-dominated water setting. Use the designated tourism area and authorized boat services where offered. Public visitor access does not extend automatically to every part of the larger nature reserve.

What to look for

  • The reed maze creates a network of channels through the wetland vegetation.
  • Metasequoia woodland provides a contrasting water-and-tree landscape.
  • The wetland museum explains the ecology of the lake setting.
