Dongying is so much fun!

When it comes to coastal cities in Shandong, the first places that come to mind are usually Qingdao, Weihai, and Yantai, or maybe even Rizhao. But today, we're talking about Dongying, a beautiful city with fewer crowds. You read that right, Dongying is incredibly fun!

At the point where the Yellow River meets the sea, you can witness the magnificent sight of the muddy yellow water merging and colliding with the clear blue, yet never truly mixing. This breathtaking scenery can only be fully appreciated in person.

Visit the Yellow River Wetland, an "international airport for birds," and watch egrets dance and red-crowned cranes sing, experiencing the poetic charm of "A crane soars through the clear sky, leading poetic inspiration to the blue heavens."

Along the riverbanks, admire the red carpet-like landscape stretching towards the horizon, meeting the golden Yellow River.

In the checkerboard-like rice paddies, immerse yourself in the beauty of the countryside and appreciate the ingenuity of the rice farmers.

After experiencing the comfortable and leisurely rural life, indulge in a sumptuous feast where river delicacies and seafood compete for your attention.

In addition to hairy crabs and seafood, savor the rich and fragrant milky-white fresh fish soup and the Yellow River specialty, gaya fish, known for its delicate texture and rich, savory sauce. It's incredibly delicious!
