Dongying wetlands and migratory birds Dongba Road | Yellow River Estuary Ecotourism Area | Gudao Rice Fields Gadwall | Common pochard | Greylag goose | Swan goose The Yellow River Delta at Dongying provides stopover and wintering wetlands for migratory birds. From late autumn into spring, look for bird flocks, waterside scenes and rice-field subjects. Species, numbers and activity depend on seasonal and local conditions. Gudao Rice Fields Gudao Town in Dongying was once a white saline wasteland; today it is a core production area for premium Yellow River Estuary rice. These rice fields are both a miracle of saline-land reclamation and a golden velvet carpet spread beneath the sky. Rongcheng Swan Lake Swan Lake | Yandunjiao Village | Blueways shipwreck As northern lands turn cold, a migration repeated for thousands of years begins punctually once more. Every November to the following March, tens of thousands of Siberian whooper swans depart Lake Baikal and the Siberian tundra, flying 4,000 kilometers through snowy skies, storms, and cold fronts to Rongcheng Swan Lake in Weihai, at the Shandong Peninsula's easternmost tip. Asia's largest whooper swan wintering habitat and a national nature reserve, it is called the Eastern Swan Kingdom by experts in China and abroad. More than ten thousand whooper swans winter here annually, one third of China's wintering population. They are the winter coastline's gentlest poetry.
