Nanhaizi Milu Park covers an area of more than 60 hectares. There are swamps, grasslands, ponds, and woodlands here. It is a fully enclosed ecological environment and a natural reserve for free-range milu deer. It is somewhat like a zoo with various live animals, but it does not emphasize the entertainment function of a zoo. It is like a deer farm with many deer, but it does not emphasize the industrial function of a deer farm.


The Nanhaizi Milu Park built in 1985 is located in the core area of the imperial hunting ground in the Qing Dynasty. Nanhaizi has lush reeds and muddy swamps, creating a good environment for the habitat and reproduction of milu deer. In just eight years, the number of milu deer in Nanhaizi Milu Park has increased from 20 to more than 200, becoming the second largest milu park in the world after Woburn Abbey Park.


Nanhaizi has begun to restore its unique features. The Milu Park has also introduced deer species such as hog deer, sika deer, white-lipped deer, red deer, sambar deer, muntjac deer and roe deer, making the Milu Park gradually become a research site and museum for Chinese deer species.
