Yiqian'er Nature Reserve
一千二管理站
A wetland along the old Diaokou River course in the northern part of the Yellow River Delta Nature Reserve. It is rarely crowded and suits self-drive trips for birdwatching and mudflat views.
The Yiqian'er Management Station area lies in the north of Hekou District, at the mouth of the former Yellow River channel (the Diaokou River course), which was active until 1976. It is one of the three management zones of the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve. After ecological restoration, the area has developed into large expanses of reed marsh, salt marsh, and muddy tidal flats. In spring and autumn, it is an important stopover for plovers and sandpipers, ducks and geese, and cranes. Development is limited and facilities are few, so it suits self-drive trips and birdwatchers. Visitors to the core zone must follow reserve regulations. Roads are mainly sea dikes and oilfield roads.
