Covering an area of 100 mu, Bainiao Garden (百鸟园) is the only center for watching and protecting birds, which simulates natural environment in Beijing. In the garden, there stands a giant bird net with the center-height of 40 meters, covering an area of 220,000 square meters. In the bird net, there are more than 100 species of birds, which contains over 2,500 birds of a great variety, and the number of birds is increasing gradually. Among these 100 species of birds, a great many species belong to national first-class and second-class protected animals, such as Brown Eared-pheasant, Red-crowned Crane, Green Peafowl, Golden Pheasant, Black Swan and Augta.
