Dafeng Milu Nature Reserve is located in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province and near the Yellow Sea coast
in eastern China, with the whole area 78000 ha, the core area 2668 ha, the buffer area 2220, and the
experimental area 73112. The Geological landforms are typical coastal wetland, including tidal
flats, seasonal stream and part of artificial wetland together with a lot of forest land, salt marsh, and
bare land. Yancheng Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve is specifically designed to conserve and
naturalize an endangered deer species, Pere David's Deer or Milu in Chinese. The deer reserve park
is a part of the Yancheng National Nature Reserve, which is a conservation area for endangered bird
species, including the red crowned crane, insects, fish and animal species. The nature reserve has
earned its international reputation and is founded by the local municipal government, the State
Environmental protection Agency, and the United Nations Development Program Global
Environment Fund. The city of Dafeng belongs to subtropical and warm temperate zone, where
thermophilic crops can grow well and influenced by the East Asian monsoon. Dafeng Milu Nature
Reserve is a second reintroduction of Milu into China in 1986 where 36 milu were chosen from five
UK zoological gardens with the bulk of the deer coming from Whipsnade Wild Animal Park
sponsored by National Forestry Department of China and World Wildlife Fund.It is now the largest
Milu Nature Reserve in the world, and in 1997 it was awarded as the National Nature Reserve in
China. The reserve has been designated as a Ramsar site since 2002.The Reserves have 14 species
of animals, 182 species of birds, 27 reptiles and amphibian species, and more than 299 kinds of
insects relying on the immense coastline and wetland, which is the paradise of the wildlife. The
ecosystem of forest, grassland, water, deer and bird is being created in the Reserve and these species
are living in a harmonious biological cycle. Milu have been listed as extinct in the wild, as all
populations are under captive management. In Dafeng Nature Reserve, free-ranging projects have
been put forward since 1986, after 10 years’ exploring, the free-ranging population has increased
13.2% by year and formed the herd of 118 free-ranging milu. Until 2013.9, the population has
increased to 2027 in the Reserve.
Since it was opened to the public as the tourism attraction, until now more than 1 million tourists
have visited the Reserve and were educated for wildlife conservation and the importance of
environmental protection. There are some tourism measures that meet the sustainable development.
The water tower was constructed to memorize 39 milu coming back in 1986, which has the main
function to storage water in order to resolve the water shortage problem in the Reserve. Tourist can
also step onto the top of the tower to overview the Reserve.
The Platform was the imitation of that in Nanyuan Royal Hunting Garden, which can facilitate the
tourists to enjoy the sight of peaceful deer from a distance.
In order to memorize those 39 milu, the tomb was constructed for telling the history for tourists and
informing the complexity of the range of deer become larger.
4)Tourists Route
In order to protect Milu and other species, tourist can travel in the outer circle by golf car and
observe them from a distance.
I was very much happy to introduce Dafeng Milu Nature Reserve to the tourist group. They were
also very happy to see this place and praise the beauty of this place. It was a great experience for me
and I have learned many things also.
Hopefully I will get more chances to serve as a guide to the tourists. It really pleases me a lot.
Finally, I would like to say that Yancheng is a beautiful place for the tourists. More tourists should
come here and feel the beauty of the nature.
