Its protection ensures the balance and preservation of its ecosystem, which is home to a vast array of flora and fauna.

Declared by the Ramsar Convention of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the Wetland Park is recognized as a site of international importance for its crucial role in housing at least 158 species of migratory birds of vulnerable or critically endangered status from Siberia, Japan, and China. Tourists can witness these birds in their natural habitats, including the endangered Chinese egret and black-faced spoonbill.
