Listen to the Howl Slope This monument is built for the milu deer, where the 39 milu deer that returned to China in 1986 rest in peace.

Today, all 1169 deer in the reserve are their descendants. Milu Deer Chronicles Calligraphy Stone Carving The world's longest stone carving calligraphy gallery themed on milu deer culture.
