Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps
This collection of 111 small, individual sites includes remains of prehistoric pile dwellings (or stilt dwellings) in and around the Alps, built around 5000-500 BC, on the edges of lakes, rivers or wetlands. Excavations at only some of the sites have provided evidence that provides insights into life and how communities interacted with their environment during the Neolithic and Bronze Age prehistory of Alpine Europe. 56 of the sites are located in Switzerland. These settlements are a unique group of archaeological sites, well-preserved and culturally rich, and are one of the most important sources for studying early agricultural societies in the region.
Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary
Located in the Senegal River delta, the Jouji reserve is a 16,000-hectare wetland consisting of a large lake surrounded by streams, ponds and backwaters. It is home to an estimated 1.5 million vulnerable bird species, such as white pelicans, purple herons, African spoonbills, great egrets and cormorants.
Atlantic Forest South-East Reserves
The Southeastern Atlantic Forest Reserve, located in the states of Paraná and São Paulo, contains the finest and most extensive Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Comprising 25 protected areas (with a total area of approximately 470,000 hectares), the reserve showcases the biological wealth and evolutionary history of the last remaining Atlantic forests. From densely forested mountains to wetlands and coastal islands with isolated mountains and sand dunes, the area offers a rich natural environment of stunning beauty.
Colchic Rainforests and Wetlands
The site consists of seven components and is 80 km long, located along the warm temperate and very wet eastern coast of the Black Sea. They offer a range of the most typical Korchi ecosystems, ranging from sea level to more than 2,500 meters above sea level. The main ecosystems are the ancient Korchi deciduous rain forests and wetlands, percolation swamps and other swamp types in the unique Korchi swamp area. The very wet broadleaved rain forests contain a highly diverse flora and fauna, with a very high density of endemic and relict species, including a large number of globally endangered species and relicts, which have survived the glacial cycles of the Tertiary period. The site has about 1,100 species of vascular and non-vascular plants, including 44 endangered vascular plants, nearly 500 vertebrates and a large number of invertebrates. The site also hosts 19 endangered animal species, including sturgeons, especially the critically endangered Colchicus colchicus. It is an important stopover for many globally endangered bird species migrating through the Batumi bottleneck.
Daoxiang Lake Park
The beautiful and pure natural scenery creates an unparalleled resting space, where you can breathe the pastoral atmosphere freely and experience the natural green ecology. Daoxiang Lake is mainly composed of a natural lake with a water surface of more than 600 acres and wide rice fields on the shore, covering an area of nearly 12 square kilometers. Most of the tourists who come to Daoxiang Lake Wetland Park are young people who come for conferences, vacations and weekend outings. Since the location of Daoxiang Lake Wetland Park is relatively remote and public transportation is not well developed, it is relatively suitable for self-driving tours. Stop and go along the way, breathe the pastoral atmosphere freely, and browse the scenery around you at will. It doesn’t matter where you go. What’s important is a rare and comfortable mood. This may be the biggest difference from visiting scenic spots in the city. Another highlight of Daoxiang Lake Wetland Park is that it has infinite appeal for friends who like barbecue and fishing. As long as the weather is good, you can build a barbecue "base" at will on this quiet and vast land to enjoy the beautiful scenery and taste delicious food. Or you can choose a lakeside with shaded trees, set up a fishing rod, and cultivate your sentiments while quietly waiting for the fish to bite. However, according to many netizens, when fishing in Daoxiang Lake Wetland Park, you have to maintain a "drunkard's intention is not to fish" mentality - because the fish in it are really hard to be tempted to bite (but perhaps that's also the reason why there are so few fish). In addition, for tourists who barbecue, out of protection of the beautiful environment, when choosing a barbecue site, it is best not to destroy the wetland vegetation, choose a designated barbecue site in the wetland park for barbecue, and sort out the garbage by yourself after the barbecue. After all, the park is relatively large, with relatively few staff, and the garbage will not be cleaned up in a timely manner.
Baiyangdian
Baiyangdian is the largest freshwater lake on the North China Plain, located in Anxin County, about 45 kilometers east of Baoding City, Hebei Province. Known as the "Pearl of North China" and "West Lake of the North", it is the place where the story of Little Soldier Zhang Ga took place and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Baiyangdian is a typical northern wetland, famous for its rich products since ancient times. It is a kingdom of birds, a paradise for fish, and a museum of various aquatic plants. In midsummer, every reed from stalk to leaf is bright green, green and shiny; in August, the lotus flowers in Baiyangdian are in full bloom, red and white, graceful, and the layers of lotus flowers are endless, like a poem and a painting. There are many places of interest and historical sites here. Many emperors have visited here. There are Kangxi Water Enclosure Palace, a large swimming pool, a water sports park, a wildlife viewing area, and several villages with folk customs for tourists to visit. The tourist area is divided into six major scenic areas, namely, Yuanyang Island Folk Culture Scenic Area, Lotus Viewing Scenic Area, Ecological Recreation Scenic Area, Leisure and Entertainment Scenic Area, Pier Scenic Area, and Folk Village Scenic Area. The people of Baiyangdian have a glorious revolutionary tradition. During the Anti-Japanese War, the people of Baiyangdian formed the famous water guerrilla team "Yanling Team", which used rivers, lakes and harbors to carry out guerrilla warfare and intimidate the enemy. The anti-Japanese guerrilla team "Yanling Team" played hide-and-seek with the Japanese invaders in the reed maze and lotus ponds, often beating the invaders to a pulp, which also gave rise to the "Lotus Pond School" of Chinese literature represented by Sun Li.
Okavango Delta
The delta in northwestern Botswana is made up of permanent swamps and seasonal flood plains. It is one of the very few major inland delta systems that does not flow into the ocean, and the wetland system is almost intact. One of the unique features of the site is that the annual flooding of the Okavango River occurs during the dry season, so the biological cycles of local plants and animals are synchronized with these seasonal rains and floods. This is a climatic, hydrological and biological process. The Okavango Delta is home to some of the world's most endangered large mammals, such as cheetahs, white rhinos, black rhinos, African wild dogs and lions.
Kuk Early Agricultural Site
The Cook Early Agricultural Site is located in the western highlands of New Guinea at an altitude of 1,500 meters and covers an area of 116 hectares. Archaeological excavations have shown that the feature is one of wetland reclamation, which was carried out almost continuously for 7,000 years and possibly as long as 10,000 years. The well-preserved archaeological remains at the site show the technological leap from plant exploitation to agriculture about 6,500 years ago. It is an excellent example of how agricultural practices have changed over time, from cultivating mounds to digging trenches with wooden tools to drain wetlands. Cook is one of the few places in the world with archaeological evidence of agriculture developing independently and agricultural practices changing over such a long period of time.
Pantanal Conservation Area
The Pantanal Conservation Area consists of four protected areas with a total area of 187,818 hectares. Located in the southwestern corner of Mato Grosso State in central-western Brazil, the reserve covers 1.3% of the Brazilian Pantanal region and is one of the largest freshwater wetland ecosystems in the world. The source of the region's two major river systems, the Cuiabá and Paraguay, are located here, and the richness and diversity of its vegetation and animals are amazing.
Qilihai National Wetland Park
Qilihai National Wetland Park is located in Ninghe County in the northeast of Tianjin, covering an area of about 10,000 mu. It is a national AAA-level tourist attraction. In 1992, it was approved by the State Council as a national nature reserve for ancient coasts and wetlands. It is also the only national nature reserve in my country where ancient coasts and wetlands are located in the same place. It is the largest back garden of Tianjin and was rated as one of Tianjin's eight characteristic tourist attractions in 2009. Tianjin has 235 species of birds in 17 orders and 48 families, and Qilihai has 182 species in 16 orders and 39 families; Qilihai has three treasures: silver fish, purple crabs, and reeds. Reeds release a large amount of negative oxygen ions every day. According to experts' calculations, the content of negative oxygen ions in Qilihai is 3,000 per cubic centimeter, which is dozens of times higher than that in the central area of a large city. It is known as the "Kidney of the Earth". The biggest feature of Qilihai's natural scenery is the word "wild": wild flowers, wild grass, wild birds, wild scenery, wild feelings, wild fun, fresh and beautiful, with its own charm. The scenic area is composed of an 8-kilometer wetland corridor, a 4-kilometer wetland wooden plank road and 6,000 acres of pristine wetlands. The 8-kilometer wetland corridor is divided into two areas, the east and west. The east area is a slow-living area with a fun fishing area, an animal science exhibition hall, a cruise ship dock, a mountain gate, a cable bridge, a wedding photography base, a Dutch windmill park, and a water barbecue pavilion; the west area has a historical folk sculpture display corridor, a wetland plant display area, a water and sand expansion area, a children's playground, a 3D fantasy castle, a crab fishing pond, a flavor food street, and a water stage; along the 4-kilometer wetland wooden plank road, there are seven-color flower islands, bird-watching platforms, racecourses, wetland self-driving boats, wetland botanical gardens, fun zoos, wetland live CS, wetland off-road karts, rare bird paradise, lavender island, archery range, hot air balloon sightseeing, Qilihai native plant display area, and bird science corridor. You can take a luxury Chinese-style pleasure boat to sightsee in the thousands of acres of pristine wetlands, or take a sightseeing electric car to see the historical folk sculpture display corridor, or ride an environmentally friendly bicycle to enjoy the sea of flowers and experience the slow life in the wetland.

It has important significance and irreplaceable role in carrying out green environmental protection education, advocating low-carbon life, developing ecotourism, promoting sustainable economic development and the balanced coexistence of man and nature.
Qiaoyuan Park, Hedong District, Tianjin
Qiaoyuan Park is located in the southeast corner of the Weiguo Road Interchange, the key point of Hedong in Tianjin, and the gateway to the city landscape. It opens out in a fan shape to the northwest and covers an area of 22 hectares. It was originally an abandoned shooting range and a low-lying saline-alkali land. Qiaoyuan was designed according to local conditions. It used the original target mountain and several fish ponds to build an artificial wetland park. It has the first-level greening standard of urban gardens. It is a national 3A-level tourist attraction and the largest artificial ecological wetland park in the six districts of Tianjin. The park covers an area of 400 mu, of which the ecological water area is nearly 200 mu. The floor area ratio is less than 0.04, which has incomparable ecological advantages. 14 high and low wetland bubbles are dotted in between, and more than 100 kinds of plants are planted, including 20 aquatic plants, 43 trees and shrubs, and 40 perennial plants. There are 16 flat bridges and arch bridges connecting the waters in the park. It is the park with the most bridges in Tianjin. In addition to the bridges connecting the waters, there is also a trail trestle crossing it. All bridges in the park are made of wood, showing the concept of returning to nature in the ecological park. The Creative Bridge Park aims to create an ecological and creative park with "ecological fashion as its feature and leisure tourism as its core". At the 2009 World Architecture Festival held in Barcelona, Spain, it won the "Global Best Landscape Award", which is the first time that a Chinese urban park has won this honor. In 2010, it won the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Comprehensive Design Honor Award.
World Grape Expo Center
The World Grape Expo Park is the theme park of the 2014 World Grape Conference. Its contents include grape variety display, cultural interpretation, science expo, landscape ecology, leisure experience and health and fitness. It is a window for citizens to feel, enter and integrate into the World Grape Conference. The World Grape Garden is located on the south side of Haituo Mountain, the second highest peak in Beijing, on the east side of Guanting Reservoir, on the north side of Badaling Great Wall, and on the west side of Guishui River. It covers an area of 3,126 mu, of which 393 mu is wetland. The average altitude of the park is 480 meters. With the comprehensive effect of green islands and wetlands, the annual temperature is 5℃ lower than that of the urban area.

The design of the park is inspired by the natural geometric shape of grapes, with the circle as the main element. The core theme axis is abstractly extended from the curled grape vines, and the main and secondary roads are interspersed like the trunks and branches of grapes. The landscape concept of the World Grape Garden is "slow life under the grape trellis, enjoy the fields in the vineyard outside the pass". It has convenient transportation, unique location, high-quality services, and complete facilities. It is an ideal place for the capital's citizens, domestic and foreign tourists to escape the summer heat, sightseeing, leisure, fitness, and parent-child travel. Fifteen highlights of the World Grape Garden The World Grape Garden is based on the 10,000 mu of fresh grapes in the Yanhuai River Valley. It has built a grape theme park that integrates scientific planting, technology demonstration, leisure experience, catering and entertainment, showing high-quality grape varieties from all over the world, and focusing on my country's grape varieties and organic planting technology. The park focuses on showing the magic and life mysteries of grapes, the profound historical culture, the application of modern science and technology in grape breeding, cultivation, and production, and the development of the world and my country's grape industry, providing Beijing with a comprehensive science popularization venue and ecological scenic spot with grapes as the theme. The three thousand mu garden is full of splendid things and heroes, with nearly 200 viewing spots scattered in an orderly manner. Through refinement and sorting, fifteen highlights are summarized for citizens and tourists to share, namely, slow life under the grape trellis, century-old grapes to welcome blessings, interesting varieties of Olympic Games, elegant wetland health products, parent-child cycling, couples' beautiful lavender, cool and refreshing in the shade of trees, popular science exhibitions of ancient and modern times, pavilion tower flying bridge, low-carbon leisurely stroll, Yanhuai River Valley Pearl, Great Wall Pass Silk Road, grapes and grapes accompany guests to play, self-driving buses are accessible, and there are many activities. 1. Slow life under the grape trellis There are 50 landscape grapes distributed in the park, which are divided into two types, one is single and double plant type 21, the age of the tree is more than 50 years; the other is group type 29, the age of the tree is mostly 8 to 10 years. There are two types of varieties, one of which is called "milk", also known as "white horse milk", which is a famous ancient fresh food variety in China. It has a thin skin, rich juice, crispy and refreshing meat, and excellent quality. It is known as "cutting milk without leaving any juice", and is a tribute to the court and a delicacy for state banquets in all dynasties; the other is called "longan", which was once a unique variety in China and one of the ancient varieties cultivated in China. Its fruit is purple or deep rose red, with a thin and transparent skin. It was praised by Guo Moruo as "the pearl of the north". Each landscape grape has a unique poetic name. Among them, 21 single and double plant types are named "duizhuo", "songfu", "zangzhu", "youqing", etc. In addition to the variety characteristics, there is also a poem about grapes; the other 29 group types directly select words with artistic conception from ancient poems as names, and attach the poem and even interpret the meaning, which has a unique flavor. Savoring the slow life under the grape racks, you will gain a mood of returning to nature, relaxation and harmony. In today's increasingly urbanized world, people are busy with their own lives. It is a great choice to take a seat under the grape trellis in the World Grape Garden, taste grapes and enjoy the beautiful scenery, spend a leisurely time quietly, and taste the state of slow life. Slow life is a life attitude, a healthy mentality, a positive struggle, and a high degree of confidence in life. 2. The oldest grape tree in the park is located on the west side of the East Gate parking lot. This is a "Longyan" grape, which is 105 years old. This successful technical means of transplanting large grape trees is the first in the country. In addition, there are 38 grape vines over 50 years old in the park. The old grape vines that have experienced many rounds of spring, summer, autumn and winter still maintain their tenacious vitality. After being transplanted to the World Grape Garden, they show vigorous vitality, luxuriant branches and leaves, and abundant fruits, which can be called a miracle. Grapes bring good luck, and the century-old grape vines bloom with vigorous vitality in the World Grape Garden, which not only shows the good news brought by modern agricultural and forestry technology, but also brings citizens a unique sense of time and space through landscape ecological construction, so that they can cherish a happy life and pray for a better future. It is a unique experience to bring relatives and friends to visit the World Grape Garden and let the century-old vines witness family, friendship and love. 3. Interesting Varieties At the Olympic Games, you can easily taste 1,014 kinds of high-quality grapes from 36 countries of origin in the World Grape Garden without leaving the country. Many of these grape varieties have distinctive characteristics. For example, in terms of size, there are large-bunched "Spring Roses", with an average bunch weight of 800g; large-grained "Tengmin (also known as Ping Pong Grapes)", with an average grain weight of 15g; large-bunched and large-grained "Qinlong Big Bulbs", with an average bunch weight of 2,500g and an average grain weight of 17g. In terms of colorfulness, there are "White Rose Fragrance" which is golden yellow, "Biankou" which is green, "Amethyst Rose" which is purple-red, and "Black Beet" which is purple-black. Seedless varieties are known as "Kuangxin Lingyun", including "Xiahei", "Lady Red", "Cold Fragrant Honey", and "Bixiang Seedless". Finger-shaped grapes are metaphorically called "Jade Finger Meditation", including "Golden Finger" and "Beauty Finger". Heart-shaped grapes are likened to "seedless white chicken heart". Fragrant grapes are fragrant, including "Jintian Rose" with strong rose fragrance, "Jingya" with strawberry fragrance, "Honey Juice" which is as sweet as honey, "Jasmine Fragrance" with strong jasmine fragrance, and "Xiangyue" with strong osmanthus fragrance. Crisp flesh grapes are crisp and fragrant, such as "Red Barati", "Black Barato", "Red Earth", "Jingxiangyu", "Night Beauty", and "Xinghua No. 1". Milk-shaped grapes are mellow and milky, such as "Red Milk" and "Rizamat". It can be seen that the World Grape Fair is known as the "Olympic Games of the Grape World". 4. Wetland health products Yayun World Grape Garden has eleven wetlands totaling 393 acres, namely Huanglibo, Bailutan, Zijuantan, Xianheze, Dayandang, Yuanyangwan, Jiyuanyi, Qiyingting, Feiguanhu, Cangya, and Jujiuzhou. These wetland names are given according to the characteristics of water depth, water surface size, water grass and waterfowl types, and also contain connotations such as the unique and interesting morphological habits of these waterfowls, and elegant and beautiful allusions and legends. The biological community of the wetland ecosystem is composed of aquatic and terrestrial species, with active material circulation, energy flow, species migration and evolution, and high ecological diversity, species diversity and biological productivity. Wetlands are called "kidneys of the earth", species storage, and climate regulator. Yanqing County has vast wetlands with multiple ecological functions and rich natural resources. It plays an irreplaceable and important role in protecting the ecological environment and maintaining biodiversity. It is the nourishment of these wetlands that further improves the quality of grapes in this area, making them more delicious and sweet. Therefore, the wetlands and the lush forests around them form a natural oxygen bar, nourishing the lungs of people; wetlands are the kidneys of the earth, nourishing the kidneys of people; the rich cultural artistic conception of the World Grape Garden wetlands and their rich animal and plant resources not only nourish the heart, but also nourish the nature and morality, and are an extremely superior health preservation environment. For example, the ecological landscape and artistic conception of the Xianheze are interpreted as follows: fairy-like appearance and jade color, crane hair and childlike face. The benefits extend to future generations, and the longevity is endless. The legendary crane is the red-crowned crane. The red-crowned crane has a high-pitched and loud cry, and has a high-jumping courtship dance posture. When flying, the neck is straight and forms a "V" formation. The red-crowned crane needs a clean and open wetland environment as its habitat, and is the most sensitive creature to changes in the wetland environment. It is often given the beautiful title of "God of Wetlands". In Chinese history, the red-crowned crane symbolizes auspiciousness and is recognized as a first-class literary bird. The red-crowned crane is embroidered on the official uniform of the first-rank civil official, implying loyalty, integrity and noble character. It is second only to the dragon and phoenix emblems used exclusively by the royal family, so people also call the crane the "first-rank bird". The red-crowned crane has a lifespan of 50 to 60 years. People often draw it together with pine trees to symbolize happiness, auspiciousness and longevity. As early as 2,600 years ago, "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Crane Singing" described such a scene as "the crane sings in Jiu Gao, and the sound is heard in the sky". "A crane flies above the clouds in the clear sky, and the poetic sentiment reaches the blue sky" in Liu Yuxi's "Autumn Poems" in the Tang Dynasty. The vivid painting depicts the vibrant and interesting autumn scenery, expressing the positive emotions of excitement and upwardness, contrary to the sad autumn tone of the ancients. 5. Parent-child cycling Le Tianlun World Grape Garden is a paradise for parent-child multi-person bicycle riding, thanks to the comfortable configuration of the science and technology venues, grape fields, wetlands, lavender, gardens and sketches in the park. The park has opened a special bicycle tour route, which separates walking, cycling and battery vehicles. The cycling route is 3.6 kilometers long, including main roads and branch roads. There are rental points at the north gate, south gate and tourist service center, equipped with 30 double bicycles, 40 triple bicycles and 30 quad bicycles. During the holidays, take your children to the World Grape Garden for a walk. In the beautiful nature, you can have a refreshing parent-child bicycle greenway ride, which not only exercises the children and family, but also relaxes the mood. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone and better promote the healthy and harmonious development of children's physical and mental health. Parent-child cycling is not only beneficial to children's perception and understanding ability, but also good for cultivating children's good emotions and emotional intelligence. It can also form an environmental awareness of caring for the earth. This knowledge and awareness will accompany them into adulthood and then continue to be passed on to their next generation. Children can also learn new knowledge, gain insights, and learn to make some simple plans and decisions during the cycling process. Cycling can also broaden children's horizons and minds, making them more cheerful, more willing to pursue their own interests, and easier to make more friends. Loving sports is itself a manifestation of loving life. With a healthy body, your mood will naturally be good. Learning will naturally become interesting and effective when you are in a good mood. Some parents even use cycling as a reward for completing their studies. If children want to ride a bike, they have to improve their learning efficiency, and playing becomes burden-free. On Zizhu Road on the central axis, take the car out of the tourist center and pass through the Science and Technology Museum, Sun House, Ruizhu Bridge, Liucai Gallery, Yuxiu Gallery, Guancui Bridge, Shengshi Collection, Yunfanglin, Listening to Nature, Flying Grapes, and Lansheng Bridge to the water stage. There are various landscape grapes and field grapes on both sides of this 1.2-kilometer road, and there are gurgling streams. The scenery along the way is pleasant and natural. If you go from Yuexin Road on the north line to Xiushui Road and then to Tanyou Road, you will pass through the adjacent wetlands along the east and south sides, and pass through Shuoshi Tower, Tingquelin, Jujiuzhou, Yingqiu Tower, Zijuantan, Ninglu Bridge, Cangya, King of the Garden, Shanghong Bridge, Jiyuan, Emerald Notes, and Blooming Heart. You can ride and play along the water for more than 2.2 kilometers, listen to the singing of forest birds and water birds, and see kites flying and fish leaping from time to time, which is very enjoyable. If you see the landscape you are interested in, you can stop at any time to appreciate and explore it. Such family happiness is free and easy. 6. Beautiful Shadow of Couples Lavender World Grape Garden has both the spectacular 100-acre lavender garden located on the southwest side of the Visitor Service Center and Science Museum near the north gate, and purple flower belts such as lavender scattered throughout the garden. The blue-purple petals exude a pleasant fragrance, making the couples who are in it particularly noble, elegant and quiet. The combination of light and shadow in the vast sea of flowers touches the soul and is better than heaven on earth. Holding your lover's hand, you will be intoxicated by the diffuse fragrance, swim in the purple sea of flowers, enjoy this romantic time with your loved one, and leave the most beautiful figure. Lavender blooms beautifully for three months (July to the end of September), waiting for you and him... All these beautiful times are captured in the picture of memory. Wandering in the sea of lavender, you will be reluctant to leave. The World Grape Garden would like to remind everyone that there are two wetland landscapes in the garden that are also must-go destinations for lovers, one is Yuanyang Bay, and the other is Jujiu Island. The flower sea and love pool are naturally the dream place of young friends. 7. Resting in the cool and lush forests The World Grape Garden is undoubtedly a summer resort in North China. With an altitude of 480 meters, plus the comprehensive effects of green islands and wetlands, the annual temperature is about 5℃ lower than that of the urban area. The sun in the clear air at higher altitudes shines on the evaporating wetlands, creating a high concentration of negative oxygen ions here. In the hot summer, it is a great pleasure to avoid the sauna days in the World Grape Garden and take a deep breath to cleanse your lungs in the Tingque Forest, Liancui Forest, Yimeng Forest, Yunfang Forest, and Qixia Forest. Watch the bees and butterflies dancing with vitality, listen to the birds and sparrows chirping in the forest, the rustling breeze rises, the sounds of nature are endless, the flowers are intoxicating, and the summer dreams are connected. The setting sun shines on the green trees, and the dream is happy and the heart is wide. Suddenly I woke up, the breeze was cool and the setting sun was shining, and there was a beautiful forest in front of me. Take a short rest in the World Grape Garden, the green is dense, and you can appreciate nature. 8. The Science Expo has a science museum and a solar house indoor venues, and there is a variety of grape display area outdoors. The World Grape Garden displays grape technology and culture in all aspects, so that every friend who comes to play can inadvertently gain a wealth of grape knowledge. The Science and Technology Museum has two floors with a total construction area of 5,605 square meters. It is divided into five theme exhibition areas: culture, technology, industry, life, and history. It integrates new technologies, new products, new achievements, production facilities, equipment, scientific and technological exchanges, training, and wine culture such as the historical origin, succession, breeding and cultivation, storage, transportation, and processing of grapes. As a science and technology exhibition hall for an international conference, the design level of the exhibition hall is based on the world-renowned science and technology exhibition halls. It is designed with international design methods and high-tech virtual and real technical methods. It presents a young and fashionable atmosphere and popular installation art in the form of graphic display, interactive participation, and LED screen animation, providing an international science and technology feast for teenagers and adults. The total area of the Sun House (intelligent greenhouse) is 2,545 square meters. It is constructed as a grape building prototype of "two circles and one belt". It organically integrates greenhouse cultivation, irrigation, intelligent control and other technologies, and uses the principles of landscape aesthetics to create an intelligent greenhouse that integrates popular science education, leisure sightseeing, interactive experience, and technology demonstration. In order to achieve automatic control, display grape varieties, automatic collection of environmental information, and control of the irrigation system of the park, there are six exhibition areas for visitors, namely the grape tissue culture technology display area, grape grafting technology display area, potted grape area, grape processing area, Eurasian grape cultivation area, and European and American grape cultivation area. The World Grape Garden uses intelligent, information-based, and precise means to improve the high-tech content and modern management level of the World Grape Garden, drive the development of vineyards with advanced technical equipment, and build the World Grape Garden into a highlight project of modern agriculture. 9. The Pavilion, Tower and Flying Bridge are located at a high altitude. The vineyard has a flat terrain. In order to make it easier to climb up and enjoy the garden scenery and look around, a series of high points are set up in the garden, such as the top platform of the Science Museum, which is 12 meters high, the landscape tower, which is 12 meters high, and the flying bridge, which is 5.8 meters high. All of them are rising from the ground. The Science Museum has a unique and artistic shape. The steps leading to the top of the pavilion stretch out like stretched arms. They are very wide and comfortable to walk on. It can be said that there is a view on each step. The rooftop platform is large, which can accommodate more tourists to climb up and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Here, you can look north to the majestic foothills of Haituo Mountain, and from east to west, Longqing Gorge, Yudu Mountain, Song Mountain and Guyaju are distributed at the foot of Beishan Mountain, which makes people yearn for it; looking south, the winding mountains of Badaling Great Wall are like dancing silver snakes; looking west to the direction of Guanting Reservoir, you can only see clouds and mist but no mirror-like water surface; looking east, you can see the ten thousand mu of Caijiahe plain forest, with rippling green waves; this scene is naturally refreshing and open. The landscape towers are Lanchun Tower, Fanghua Tower, Yingqiu Tower and Shuoshi Tower from south to north according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The tower body is a Corden steel tower structure. Through the clever spiral design, it is directly raised 12 meters in a smaller area, and the steps are not steep. The space gaps inside and outside the steps of the tower body are also arranged for walking through, but only 3 people can be accommodated at the same time on the top of the tower, and tourists need to queue up in an orderly manner to experience it. The six flying bridges are all located in the south of the park. They are arranged on the central axis Zizhu Road from south to north, namely Lansheng, Guancui and Ruizhu. The East Ring Xiushui Road is named Wangxia, Shanghong and Ninglu. The name means the feeling of viewing the scenery and the perception of the celestial phenomena. As the name suggests, it makes people imagine and yearn. The flying bridge uses a beautiful curved steel frame to fly in the air. The obliquely inserted pillars are simple and powerful, like a tilted rainbow or a flowing ribbon. The thick wooden planks are paved to form the bridge deck. It feels comfortable to walk on, and you can't help but walk around. The appearance of the landscape tower and the flying bridge are dyed orange and red, which is a passionate color, calling for the tourists' happy mood. It is these ten tower bridges that fly in the air that suddenly make the flat World Grape Garden three-dimensional. Each one shows the exquisiteness of the surrounding area in a perfect way, which is also the core embodiment of the service spirit of the hospitable World Grape Garden. To know the distant and near views of the vineyard, you need to climb the top platform of the Tower Bridge Pavilion. 10. Low-carbon leisurely stroll In the era of "calling for green environmental protection", people are not only required to pay attention to energy conservation, but more importantly, they are required to pay more attention to ecological green environmental protection to achieve sustainable social development. The World Grape Garden implements the environmental protection concept of "green environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction". 50 battery cars are equipped in the garden for sightseeing. Tourists can set up transfer stations at the visitor center and comprehensive service center.

The Guangou Pass of the Badaling Great Wall, which is guarded by the natural danger, is the main road from Beijing to the Mongolian Plateau, Zhangjiakou, Shanxi and other northwest lands, and has always been connected to the more distant vast land of the Western Regions. On the Silk Road of more than 7,000 kilometers, silk, like porcelain, which also originated in China, became a symbol of a strong civilization in East Asia at that time. The spread of grapes, walnuts, carrots, peppers, chickpeas, spinach (also known as Persian vegetables), cucumbers (called Hugua in the Han Dynasty), pomegranates, etc. has added more choices to the daily diet of the Chinese. The wine, a specialty of the Western Regions, has been integrated into China's traditional wine culture through historical development. The Great Wall has also been accompanying the Silk Road on the land of China, protecting and promoting economic, cultural and trade exchanges. Grapes were introduced to China from the ancient Silk Road, and today they meet the people at the Great Wall. The World Grape Expo Park fully displays grape culture, which makes every guest recall and feel deeply. The grapes of the World Grape Garden, with their unique charm, connect the Great Wall and the Silk Road, and connect the changes in China and foreign countries from ancient times to the present. What you can taste here is not only the gift of nature, but also the rich human history. This is also what makes the Yanqing World Grape Garden in Beijing, China unique. 13.
