To investigate the distribution and activity routines of wildlife along tourism routes in Beijing Baihua Mountain National Nature Reserve, 20 infra-red cameras were set during July 2015 to September 2016. There were a total of 3761 valid photos taken by the cameras, including 2813 mammal photos and 643 bird photos. We identified 14 species of mammals (belonging to 5 orders and 9 families) and 39 species of birds (belonging to 4 orders and 16 families); 4 species of mammals and 8 species of birds were newly recorded as being present in the reserve. As the capture rate changes with different habitat types, elevations, and months, the number of animal species and the capture rate of broad-leaved forest were much higher than those of other habitats. The capture rate in lower elevation (1150-1400 m) areas was higher than that in middle elevation (1400 -1600 m) and higher elevation areas (1600-1800 m). The capture rate was higher from May to October than in other months, as animals are most active during these months. The diversity rate differed from the capture rate, which was lower in broad-leaved forest than in coniferous forest and in shrub. The active months of wildlife coincide with the peak tourist season. The five potentially dangerous animals, wild boar (Sus scrofa), badger (Meles meles), ocelot, sand badger, and masked civet (Paguma larvata), do not usually harm visitors during the day according to their nocturnal habits. However, there are still potential dangers for tourists' personal safety. This research is helpful for the nature reserve to formulate corresponding control plans and to establish risk warning mechanisms.
