Dongying

Home to the mouth of the Yellow River, Dongying's vast wetlands are a great place for birdwatching and for seeing the wonder of river meeting sea.

Dongying lies in northern Shandong on the Bohai coast, where the Yellow River enters the sea, and is also home to the Shengli Oilfield. The Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve has large areas of newly formed wetlands, where you can see the yellow-and-blue meeting of river and sea, reed marshes and carpets of red suaeda; during the spring and autumn migrations, many waterbirds can be seen. Spring and autumn are the best seasons, with autumn reed flowers and red beaches especially spectacular. You can arrive via Dongying Shengli Airport or by rail, and a self-drive makes exploring the wetlands easier.
