Introducing Donggang

Donggang belongs to Dandong City, is a seaport city, the port is not big, the largest can dock 10,000 tons of ships, and Donggang will be held during the May 1 seafood, seabird festival. As a new tourist city, the reception capacity is obviously insufficient.

The majestic bridge links Dandong and Sinuiju, two friendly cities, and has become a symbol of friendship between China and North Korea. The bridge was built in 1934, completed in 1943, the total length of 946 meters, is a highway, railroad dual-purpose bridge. In the war against the U.S. and Korea, the U.S. planes bombed the bridge, but it always stood tall. There are still traces of remnant holes on the steel beams, which have become the witnesses of history. The National Gate Park was built under the bridge. In fact, the Yalu River Bridge is two, one is the old bridge, one is the new bridge, the old bridge is the bridge in the fifties when the war against the United States and North Korea, because of the war has been blown up, now the new bridge is rebuilt is the connection between China and North Korea, it is said that every day the international train constantly to North Korea to transport a variety of materials and China's aid to North Korea, food and so on are transported to North Korea through this bridge. Started walking along the Yalu River, the scenery is very beautiful, and then on the national highway from Dandong to Dalian, on the way to see the Yalu River there is a very spectacular artificial island. Almost to Donggang found many people to the car loaded with woven bags, the road piled up a lot of full of woven bags, the driver told us, here is the Dandong specialty yellow clams wholesale market, shipped to all parts of the country in large quantities, it seems to be really to the seaside, the cab stopped in front of the Donggang passenger station, the driver told me that Donggang has no train station, which can not not be a great pity, a seaport city, Ridong City, so close to the railroad, but also a few dozen kilometers away. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and I was so happy to see you.

Seabird tide, according to the local introduction as the Yalu River mouth national nature reserve wetland bird watching park, visitors can see about 50,000 birds flying spectacular. Every year, migratory birds overwinter in New Zealand, Australia, and then fly to Siberia in the spring to breed their offspring. In the tens of thousands of kilometers of migration, migratory birds need to fly non-stop for about 1 week, fly to the mouth of the Yalu River when the weight loss of 50%, many birds died in the northern and southern hemispheres on the way to the migration, which is the migratory birds of the spectacular and tragic great migration. They will stay in the Yalu River wetlands for about a month, mainly to replenish food and regain strength.

It is understood that the Yalu River mouth, the second largest wetland in China, can support about 500,000 migratory birds to stop over every year. Among about 240 species of birds, most of them are geese, ducks and sandpipers, among which there is no lack of black-billed gulls and other world endangered birds. For this reason, the State Council listed it as a National Nature Reserve in 1997, and in 1999, the Wetlands International - Asia-Pacific Governors' Management Committee included it in the East Asia-Australia Wading Bird Network.

But the strange thing is that Donggang is holding a seafood seabird festival, but asked a few cab drivers, do not know where to go to see the seabirds, which has become a spectacle, if the mayor of Donggang City, he must be angry spit blood, and finally there is a driver finally know, Donggang seafront, there is a bird-watching garden, right on the seafront wetlands, he said that now do not necessarily catch up with the tide, the tide is not visible to see the seabirds, go to hit a bump! Luck it, bargaining 30 yuan to the wetland birdwatching park, the driver introduced the birdwatching park is very close to the city of Donggang, natural conditions, has become one of the world's best birdwatching place. In the Yalu River mouth wetland bird watching festival began in 2006, in addition to the intention of tapping into the unique tourism resources here, but also to arouse people's concern for and love of birds of natural emotions. The locals believe that it is a destiny and sentiment for these birds to come here from thousands of miles away every year, and it is also a kind of celebration and good luck. Therefore, local bird-loving has become a tradition. Donggang City, located in the northernmost tip of China's Gold Coast, a beautiful environment, is China's shrimp, shellfish, the main export base, no wonder many birds from thousands of miles away, every year to this habitat.

Of course, in the wetland reserve to engage in bird-watching festivals and other tourism development activities, there are objections to the scientific point of view theory, to really protect these birds from afar, I hope that the fewer people disturbing them the better. For this extremely sensitive little creature, a quiet environment is one of the most basic prerequisites for its survival.

To the bird watching garden, see the door there are a few downcast people, get off the car and ask really now no tide to see the birds, must be tomorrow morning 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. full of tide

Donggang a seafood market, I want to look at the price. The market only to find a page and we like to travel people shopping, seafood varieties are very rich, and are locally produced, the price is cheaper than the Dandong Dali block to be more than half
