阅海国家湿地公园

        位于银川市金凤区，南北长10公里，东西宽2.7公里，总面积近2000公顷，水域面积是1000余公顷，芦苇的面积500余公顷，由贺兰山洪积平原和黄河冲积平原组成。同时也是银川市面积最大、原始地貌保存最完整的一块湿地，生态系统完整，享有“银川之肾”、“城市绿肺”美誉。其实，阅海公园原来有个很响亮的名字叫做大西湖，湿地土地是属于国家所有，自建场以来，由于历史体制等多方面原因，经济发展一直比较落后，由于六、七十年代的大面积的围湖造田，使原来近2000公顷的湿地逐年减少到400公顷，西部大开发为这里创造了难得的发展机遇，自治区、党委、政府本着保护性开发，可持续发展的原则，经过大量的调查研究，终于决定，将大西湖建成集生态保护、旅游开发、休闲度假为一体的湿地公园。在2002年，先后退田还湖18000亩，又投资一亿多元清挖湖底，拆除湖堤，连通湖面水系。阅海公园于2004年6月18日正式对外开放接待游客，2006年9月24日被国家林业局审批为“国家级湿地公园”这是继杭州西溪国家级湿地公园和江苏秦湖国家级湿地公园之后的第三个国家级湿地公园，也是西北地区第一个国家级湿地公园，2007年年底被自治区旅游局审批为3A级旅游景区。2009年被银川市评为“爱国教育基地”，2004年11月20日，阅海公园在中国西部大开发五周年纪念颁奖典礼上被评为“中国西部最具有开发潜力的新景区”阅海公园快速的、高起点地建成生态系统完整、特色优势突出、生态环境优美、休闲度假舒适、净化美化环境的生态湿地公园，为银川市民群众休闲度假提供良好的场所。

Yuehai National Wetland Park

Located in Jinfeng District, Yinchuan City, it is 10 kilometers long from north to south and 2.7 kilometers wide from east to west, with a total area of nearly 2000 hectares. The water area is over 1000 hectares, and the reed area is over 500 hectares. It is composed of the Helan Mountain alluvial plain and the Yellow River alluvial plain. At the same time, it is also the largest wetland in Yinchuan City with the most complete preservation of its original landforms, a complete ecosystem, and enjoys the reputation of "the kidney of Yinchuan" and "the green lung of the city". In fact, Yuehai Park used to have a very famous name called Daxi Lake. The wetland land belongs to the state. Since its establishment, due to various reasons such as historical system, the economic development has been relatively backward. Due to the large-scale reclamation of land around the lake in the 1960s and 1970s, the wetland area of nearly 2000 hectares has been reduced to 400 hectares year by year. The Western Development has created a rare development opportunity for this area. The autonomous region, party committee, and government, based on the principles of protective development and sustainable development, have finally decided to build Daxi Lake into a wetland park that integrates ecological protection, tourism development, and leisure vacation after extensive investigation and research. In 2002, 18000 acres of farmland were returned to the lake, and more than 100 million yuan was invested to clear the bottom of the lake, demolish the lake embankment, and connect the water system on the surface of the lake. Yuehai Park was officially opened to visitors on June 18, 2004. On September 24, 2006, it was approved by the State Forestry Administration as a "National Wetland Park". This is the third national wetland park after Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park and Jiangsu Qinhu National Wetland Park, and also the first national wetland park in the northwest region. At the end of 2007, it was approved by the Autonomous Region Tourism Bureau as a 3A level tourist attraction. In 2009, Yuehai Park was awarded the title of "Patriotic Education Base" by Yinchuan City. On November 20, 2004, it was recognized as the "New Scenic Area with the Most Potential for Development in Western China" at the 5th Anniversary Awards Ceremony of China's Western Development. Yuehai Park quickly and from a high starting point, built an ecological wetland park with a complete ecosystem, outstanding characteristic advantages, beautiful ecological environment, comfortable leisure vacation, and purified and beautified environment, providing a good place for Yinchuan citizens to relax and vacation.
