Tiaozini Mudflats
条子泥
The highlight of the Yellow Sea Wetlands World Natural Heritage Site. Tens of thousands of migratory birds take flight over vast tidal flats in a spectacular “bird wave.”
Tiaozini lies along the coast of Dongtai city and is one of the core areas of the World Natural Heritage Site of the Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Yellow (Bohai) Sea of China. Its tidal flats stretch as far as the eye can see. During spring and autumn migration, many shorebirds, including spoon-billed sandpipers and black-faced spoonbills, gather at the high-tide roosts as the tide rises. When they take off together, they form a spectacular bird wave. The site has bird-watching platforms and the “720 Highland.” To watch birds, check the tide table and arrive shortly before or after high tide. Bring binoculars and a telephoto lens. The coast is windy, so protect yourself from the sun.
