Dongying in East China's Shandong province is home to the Yellow River estuary, which also forms China's youngest wetland.

This ecological marvel features an iconic red wetland landscape and is where the yellow waters of the Yellow River meet the blue waters of the sea, making for a stunning sight. As a global sanctuary for rare birds like the oriental white stork, Dongying masterfully balances pristine nature with sustainable growth.
