First stop, the Yellow River estuary!

mountains cover the white sun, and oceans drain the golden river. More than 1,2 years ago, Wang Zhihuan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, boarded the Yuanque Building in Yongji, Shanxi Province, and wrote immortal poems. The surging Yellow River water he looked at in the distance now flows into the Bohai Sea in Dongying, Shandong Province.

In Dongying, the Yellow River has created countless natural wonders by its own efforts. Things change, reed flowers fly snow ...

The Yellow River enters the sea

Dongying is where the Yellow River enters the sea. Where the Yellow River enters the sea, watch the "Mother River" merge into the sea with the earthy breath of more than half of China, and watch the rich yellow and clear blue meet!

The soil and the smell of the sea, yellow and blue collide with each other but don't blend. At the junction, it is like a long winding dragon, swimming in the river and the sea!

The majestic Yellow River water and the blue sea meet each other, forming a unique spectacle of yellow and blue. It's no exaggeration to say that she is the largest mandarin duck pot in the world!

"how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return", such "spectacular wonders", can only be shocked by being there!

flying snow with reed flowers

In the usual impression, in autumn, red maple trees are always in the forest and ginkgo trees are yellow, but I don't know that there is a touch of brightness at the mouth of the Yellow River that is different from other colors. It turns out that the color of autumn can be white with reed flowers!

Lu Hua, which is simple and elegant, is as light as a soft cloud, tender and quiet, and rippling brilliantly along the Yellow River, which is pleasing to the eye.

Ma Mali's Travel Notes

Flowers bloom like snow, like flowers but not flowers, like fog and not fog, clusters and clusters.

Seen from a distance, it looks like a sea of white and soft cotton, swaying with the wind, wave after wave, and instantly like snow, forming a 1,-mu landscape of "reed flowers flying snow", which is dazzling.

red alkali carpet

On the Yellow River beach, there is a touch of red closest to the river and sea to welcome guests in autumn.

On this magnificent wetland of 4,58 square kilometers, there are patches of Suaeda salsa, which is a unique symbol of this city.

One Salicornia may not be enough for people to stop, but if there are continuous Salicornia at the same time, your world will be occupied by this fiery red!

patches of Salicornia are scattered like rubies on the yellow and white beaches. At first glance, it looks like a red carpet guiding you to the end of the Yellow River!

Migratory birds gather

The Yellow River brings a lot of sediment, which makes it have the most complete wetland ecosystem in the world. Every year, nearly 6 million birds form a "flying formation" to shuttle here, and Dongying has become a veritable "bird international airport".

Swan, red-crowned crane, oriental stork ... Many rare birds live here.

Walking in the wetland, birds stop or soar, which is a beautiful gathering place for migratory birds.

The magnificent sight of migratory birds flying in the tidal flat wetland seems to open people's minds.

In this season, if you are lucky, you can also see the spectacular sight of "birds wear the sun"!

Educated Youth Town

In Huanghekou Town, Dongying, there is a place called "Educated Youth Town", which is the last town at the mouth of the Yellow River.

In the educated youth town, you can visit the educated youth museum, the educated youth art museum, the nostalgic garden and other venues with educated youth cultural elements, and you can also taste the most authentic and simple special food in the educated youth dining hall.

the most special thing is the rows of homestays in the town. In the homestay area with the theme of Yellow River culture, educated youth culture and farming culture, every yard is different. There are flowers in the yard and jujube trees decorated with dates outside the yard.

It's like a just visiting, which takes us back to that passionate time.

There are different rooms in the courtyard, which are very suitable for couples, parents and children, or a large family to live together.

slowly wandering around this small town, the big characters painted on the brick walls are full of the sense of the times, as if going back to the last century.

When you come to this isolated bus station, even if you don't fully understand the story of the so-called educated youth and that era, this heavy sense of history can't help but radiate in this old building.

Dan Dan ni er

The Yellow River, which flows for thousands of miles, is covered with a lot of sediment. When it flows into the sea in Dongying, Shandong Province, it brings the most attractive delicious food in October to Dongying people-hairy crabs.

Hani sauce

Hairy crabs in the Yellow River Estuary grow at the intersection of rivers and seas. They are both fresh and fragrant, which can be described as fresh and delicious. Warm a pot of wine with a plate of ginger vinegar, and you will feel delicious, delicate and mellow, and immediately fill your mouth, making people feel full of food!

The hairy crabs in the Yellow River Estuary are full of meat, which is not only delicious, but also of high medical value!

In addition to hairy crabs, the fresh fish soup in the Yellow River estuary has to be mentioned. The fresh fish soup just out of the pot is milky white and fragrant, so you can't help drooling just looking at it!

the yellow river enters the sea, so let's go home. Haokejun believes that the beauty and food here are worth your visit!
