Due South of the Historic downtown of Beijing lies the Daxing District. Daxing District (Simplified Chinese: 大兴区; Pinyin: Dàxīng Qū) was before an outlying city area but now is a suburb Beijing. Covering an area of 1,012 square kilometers, Daxing District is divided into nine towns and 18 townships with a population of 671,444.

One worthwhile site to visit however is the Beijing Milu Yuan Park, a relic site of the Former Hunting Grounds of the Emperors of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Located near the Nan Hai Zi, or souther marshes of Beijing, the Park is home to the Pere David's deer (milu), a strange deerlike creature that became extinct in China toward the end of the Qing Dynasty Era (1644 AD - 1911 AD).
Currently the Milu Yuan Park functions as a biological research center that maintains a number of 200 Milu, who can be seen at the Park. Furthermore, some 400 of the odd-looking Milu - the Milu have the neck of a camel, horns of a stag, feet of a cow, and tail of a donkey- have been returned to the wild, reintroducing the species in China. Beijing Milu Yuan is probably the best place on earth to see the Milu Deer in their most natural environment. The Animals graze, enjoy green pastures and forest and have abundant fresh water. Apart from the Deer the Milu Park is home to a great variety of migratory birds who are attracted to the Marsh Lands. As such, the Milu Yuan serves as an important wildlife reserve in North-East China.
Other Park atrractions include several exhibitions and a Museum of Extinct Species, warning visitors to have a proper respect for Nature and Wildlife.
