Nestled in the heart of Chongqing Municipality, the Wushan Mountains reveal one of China's best-kept ecological secrets: the 300-hectare Congping Wetland. Perched at high altitude and bordering the renowned Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, this biodiverse sanctuary forms a critical part of Wulipo National Nature Reserve – offering fresh discoveries for nature enthusiasts and sustainable travel advocates alike.
Why This Matters for Global Citizens
As climate consciousness grows among young travelers, Congping Wetland emerges as a model of ecological preservation. Its unique position creates microhabitats supporting rare species like the elusive Chinese merganser duck, while serving as a natural water filtration system for the Yangtze River basin.
Adventure Meets Conservation
The wetland features in CGTN's new Journeys in Nature: Wushan Mountains Series, which showcases how responsible tourism can coexist with environmental protection. With 68% of Gen Z travelers prioritizing sustainable destinations (Global Travel Trends 2023), this series provides timely inspiration for digital nomads seeking meaningful connections with nature.
