Located on the east side of the Nanyuan-Langfang highway in Daxing District, south of Beijing, 14 kilometers from the urban area of Beijing. Elks, commonly known as "four-unlike animals", were originally unique to China, but were discovered by Father David of France in 1865 and have since been transported to Europe. Wild elks in my country have long been extinct, and the last group of them are raised in the Qing Dynasty Royal Hunting Park in Nanhaizi, Beijing. In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance looted frantically, and the hunting park was destroyed in the war, and elks have since become extinct in China. Around 1900, the UK collected 18 elks from some zoos in Europe and released them in Wobon Abbey Park. Now the elk herd has grown to more than 2,000. In 1985, the Marquis of Tavistock of Wobon Abbey Park in the UK returned 20 elks to China. The state has set up a special elk ecological experimental center in Beijing, and set aside nearly 1,000 acres of land to build an elk park. Nanhaizi Elk Park is my country's first elk nature reserve that is mainly raised in a free-range manner. Nanhaizi has rich reeds and muddy swamps, creating a good environment for the elk to live and reproduce. In just 8 years, the number of elk in the Nanhaizi Elk Park has grown from 20 to more than 200, making it the second largest elk park in the world after Wubang Temple Park. Nanhaizi has begun to restore its unique style.

Interpretation of Beijing Nanhaizi Milu Park Museum from the perspective of Eastern philosophy From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, Beijing Nanhaizi Milu Park Museum is not only a place to display natural ecology and biodiversity, but also a space that embodies the philosophical thought of "harmony between man and nature". In Eastern philosophy, man and nature are regarded as an inseparable whole, emphasizing harmonious coexistence. By protecting the rare species of elk, the Milu Park Museum shows respect for nature and emphasis on the value of life, reflecting the concepts of "benevolence" and "harmony" in Eastern philosophy. At the same time, the museum's natural environment and ecological restoration work also reflects the idea of "Tao follows nature", that is, following the laws of nature and promoting ecological balance. Interpretation of Beijing Nanhaizi Milu Park Museum from the perspective of Western philosophy From the perspective of Western philosophy, Beijing Nanhaizi Milu Park Museum can be interpreted as an exploration of the balance between "anthropocentrism" and "ecocentrism". In Western philosophy, since the Enlightenment, humans have been regarded as the masters of nature, but with the increasing severity of environmental problems, ecological philosophy has gradually emerged, emphasizing the intrinsic value of the natural environment. By protecting elks and their habitats, the Elk Park Museum demonstrates respect for non-human life forms and challenges the traditional anthropocentric view. At the same time, the educational function of the museum encourages people to think about the relationship between man and nature, promotes discussions on ecological ethics, and reflects the emphasis on rationality, knowledge, and moral responsibility in Western philosophy. In summary, whether from the perspective of "harmony between man and nature" and "Tao follows nature" in Eastern philosophy, or "ecocentrism" and "ecological ethics" in Western philosophy, the Beijing Nanhaizi Elk Park Museum provides a unique perspective for us to think about the relationship between humans and nature, and how to achieve sustainable development and ecological balance in modern society.
