Miyun Reservoir

密云水库

Last update: 1 April 2015

As well as being a superb birding site, Miyun Reservoir is a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of China’s capital

Overview

Miyun Reservoir is one of the best general birding sites in Beijing. Because it is one of Beijing's main sources of drinking water, no development or industry is allowed around the margins. This means that the water quality is excellent, making it one of the few wetlands in the Beijing providing clean habitat for a variety of water birds. It is a brilliant site at any time of year but is world-class in spring and autumn. Located in Miyun County, it is 80 kilometres northeast of central Beijing, accessed via the Jingcheng (BeiJing – ChengDe) Expressway. It has a storage capacity of 4.375 billion cubic metres of water. Presently, Beijing municipality consumes about 4 billion cubic metres of annually.



Miyun Reservoir is manmade and the original purpose of this large-scale feat of hydraulic engineering was flood prevention, electricity generation, agricultural irrigation and aquaculture. However, with Beijing's expansion and rapid economic development since the 1980s, there has been a steady lowering of the city's underground aquifer so that more surface water has been needed for drinking water and, since 1985, Miyun Reservoir has contributed to the capital’s supply. By 1999, the reservoir was supplying 490 million cubic metres of water. Today it supplies almost 10 times that amount.

At the southern end of the reservoir is a dam and it is here that the water is deepest. The northern shore, where the water is most shallow, is generally the best area for birds. There are plans to raise the level of the reservoir by around 10 metres (Jia Yifei, pers comm, 2014) as it receives water from the enormous engineering project to divert water from China’s water-rich south to the water-poor north. As at April 2015 the water level at the reservoir is lower than it has been for many years and, since autumn 2014, the habitat around the northern edge of the reservoir has been excellent for bustards, geese, cranes, ducks and shorebirds. How long this lasts remains to be seen. Although some areas that are excellent for birding now may well become inaccessible or less attractive due to predicted rising water levels in 2015, it is likely that, in time, new habitats will be created and new viewing areas discovered, hopefully replacing the current birding ‘hotspots’. There are human effects of rising water levels, too, and many villages are situated close to, and their inhabitants depend on, the reservoir. An interesting historical and personal account of the evolution of the reservoir can be found here:

The bird list for Miyun Reservoir is impressive and, in 2013 and 2014 alone, highlights have included Beijing’s first Slender-billed Gull and Meadow Pipit, and the second records of Red-throated Loon, Pectoral Sandpiper, Great White Pelican and Arctic Redpoll. It has also hosted all the species of crane on the Beijing list (Common, Demoiselle, Hooded, Red-crowned, Sandhill, Siberian and White-naped) and sought after species such as Great Bustard, Saker, Short-toed Snake Eagle, Eastern Marsh Harrier, Japanese and Pallas’s Reed Bunting are all regular at the appropriate time of year (see the end of this note for a full list of species recorded at Miyun Reservoir).

Miyun Reservoir is at its best during Spring and Autumn and it often witnesses impressive migration. In autumn 2014 more than 50,000 Little Buntings were counted in just a few hours on 26 September and more than 8,000 Horned Larks on 15 October. With these credentials, it’s possible to make a strong case for Miyun Reservoir being the best general birding location in Beijing.



Note that, in winter, the reservoir usually freezes over from around mid-November through to early March. However, in most winters, some small areas remain ice-free throughout and can host impressive flocks of waterfowl, especially Mallard, Goldeneye, Smew, Common Merganser (Goosander) and Ruddy Shelduck. Large flocks of (mostly Tundra) Bean Geese, occasionally including other species of goose, and Common Cranes are also a feature of winter at Miyun.

As well as the open fresh water, habitat includes freshwater marsh, scrub and maize fields.

Location

Miyun Reservoir is located in Miyun County, about 80 kilometres northeast of Beijing city centre and 20 kilometres northeast of the town of Miyun. It can be accessed via the Jingcheng Expressway (a toll road) or via the older and slower, but toll-free, G101 (see directions below).

As at April 2015 the best birding spots are around the northern and northeastern shore of the reservoir. Two locations, in particular, are frequently visited by birders: the villages of Houbajiazhuang (后八家庄) and Bulaotun (不老屯). Both are covered in this guide. To the north of the reservoir, the road to the Jixiang Temple, just north of Bulaotun, can be a nice add-on to a trip to Miyun Reservoir, hosting several local specialities with restricted distributions such as Chinese Nuthatch, thrushes, Chinese Hill Babbler, Plain Laughtingthrush, Eurasian Jay, Yellow-bellied, Japanese, Marsh and Willow Tit and Chinese Beautiful Rosefinch. This site is also covered in this guide.

Directions

By Public Transport:

Take bus 980 Express from Dongzhimen to Miyun town ( 密云汽车站 ). At the time of writing (April 2015), the bus Fare is RMB 15 (GBP 1.50) each way and buses run from 0600 to approximately 1800.

At Miyun town it is possible to hire a taxi to the key sites. Show the driver the Chinese place names below:

Houbajiazhuang (后八家庄)

Bulaotun (不老屯)

Journey times to these sites from Miyun town are around 40 minutes for Houbajiazhuang and 75 minutes for Bulaotun.

Once dropped by your taxi, it is possible to walk from both Houbajiazhuang and Bulaotun to the reservoir (Houbajiazhuang is only a few hundred metres from the edge of the reservoir; Bulaotun is c1.5-2km from the reservoir). When using public transport to visit the reservoir, my recommendation is to visit Houbajiazhuang given its proximity to the reservoir and shorter distance from Beijing.

By Private Taxi:

Most Beijing public taxis will not take customers to Miyun Reservoir, so if you don’t want to take the public bus or want to arrive early in the morning, the only option is to pre-arrange a private car and driver. Most up-market hotels can arrange. Alternatively, contact Terry on [email protected].

By Private Car:

For Houbajizhuang (后八家庄):

Take the Jingcheng (BeiJing to ChengDe) Expressway from Beijing towards the northeast (signposted Huairou, Miyun and Chengde). Stay on this expressway until the km75 marker, at which point take the exit sign-posted “Shuxin Highway”. After the tollbooth, continue straight for 400-500 metres. The road runs under a bridge. Take the right turn immediately before the bridge, along a narrow road that rises up to the right to join the G101 (JingMi Road). Follow this road for approximately 17km until the 92km marker. Here there is a petrol station on the right. Take the narrow right exit immediately after the petrol station (before the bridge) and, after c100 metres along the



exit road, the road bends to the left and you arrive at a T-junction. Turn left, which takes you under the G101, from which you have just exited. Follow this road for around 700 metres. You will come to another T-junction. Turn left onto the slightly wider road and, after just 200 metres, you will see a turn on the right at a bus shelter sign-posted “后八家庄”. Turn right here. Immediately you will see a series of brick archways on the left. Follow this narrow road for around 400 metres, at which point it forks into two. Take the left fork and follow this narrow road for about 1km through the village. Keep to the “main” road until you have passed through the village and towards a more open area of agricultural and grassy/weedy fields with views over the reservoir. From here, take any of the tracks towards the reservoir and park sensibly, taking care not to block any access. The small hills are ideal viewing platforms from where to scan the reservoir and the various tracks and paths can be productive for passerines.

For Bulaotun (不老屯):

Take the Jingcheng Expressway from Beijing. Around the km110 marker, take the exit marked “Taishitun”. After the tollbooth you will come to a T-junction. At this junction turn left and then, almost immediately, turn right. Follow this road for around 1-2km until you reach a bridge. This bridge can be good for Long-billed Plover and Ibisbill, so it’s worth a short stop.



Continue from the bridge for another 1-2km until you reach a T-junction with a police building opposite. Turn left here and follow the road for c10km to reach Bulaotun (不老屯). Drive through the town until the road turns sharp left and then sharp right in quick succession. Shortly after this, you will see a blue rubbish container on the left opposite a shop with a mobile phone company sign. Turn left here and follow the track until you reach a concrete road that runs parallel to the main road. Turn right onto the concrete road and then take one of the tracks to the left towards the reservoir. At the time of writing, one of the best tracks runs alongside a row of trees from the concrete road towards the reservoir.

Note that there are many tracks in this area and the best ones will depend on the location of the birds. Factors such as water level, disturbance by fishermen and farmers and bird photographers all play a role in determining where the birds are located at any given time. So trying several different tracks may be required. Usually it is possible to determine the location when one reaches the reservoir edge.



For Jixiang Temple:

Take the Jingcheng Expressway from Beijing. Around the km110 marker, take the exit marked “Taishitun”. After the tollbooth (45 yuan at April 2015) you will arrive at a T-junction. At this junction turn left and then, almost immediately, turn right. Follow this road for around 1-2km until you reach a bridge. This bridge can be good for Long-billed Plover and Ibisbill, as well as other species such as kingfishers, Black Stork etc, so it’s worth a short stop.

After the bridge, continue for 1-2km until you reach another T-junction with a police building opposite. Turn left here and follow the road for c10km to reach Bulaotun (不老屯). Just a few hundred metres after reaching the beginning of Bulaotun town there is a turning on the right signposted “Jixiang Temple”. Turn right here and follow signs for Jixiang Temple (about 15-20km). The birding is best along the last 2km of the road before the temple. A good tactic is to park about 2km from the temple in one of the small lay-bys and walk.



Likely Species at Jixiang Temple: Plain Laughingthrush, Chinese Hill Babber, Japanese, Marsh, Silver-throated, Yellow-bellied and Willow Tits, Chinese Nuthatch, Red-billed Blue Magpie, Eurasian Jay, Daurian Redstart, Godlewski’s and Meadow Buntings. In winter, thrushes (Naumann’s, Dusky, Red-throated and Black-throated) are regular, as well as Siberian Accentor and Chinese Beautiful Rosefinch. Opening Times:

There is no official entrance or opening times for Miyun Reservoir. The sites around the reservoir can usually be accessed at any time. However, during times of high security, for example the National Peoples Congress Annual Meetings in March, other major



meetings of the Communist Party or large international events, access to the reservoir is sometimes forbidden or restricted, with security officials manning access roads. Information about access restrictions is hard to find, so it is best to avoid these times if at all possible.

Entrance Fee:

There is no entrance fee to access the birding sites around Miyun Reservoir.

Hints and Tips Temperature: Miyun Reservoir is a little higher in altitude than Beijing and, due to the urban heat effect, the temperature can be up to 10 degrees Celsius lower than downtown Beijing. Please bear this in mind when deciding which clothes to take. The viewing areas are also open and exposed so, if there is wind, particularly from the north, it will feel colder. Taking layers of clothing that can be added or taken off as required, is the best tactic. Best time to visit: Undoubtedly the best times to visit are during spring and autumn, at which time it is possible to record over 100 species. However, a visit at any time of the year will be rewarded.

Food and drink: There are no café or restaurant facilities at Miyun Reservoir. However, there are small shops and restaurants in the local villages dotted around the reservoir. It is advised to take a packed lunch and/or snacks plus water to last the day.

Optics: Most of the birds on the reservoir itself will be relatively distant, so a telescope is strongly recommended.
