Things to do in Dongying

During summer vacation, I took my child on a road trip to Dongying, Shandong 🐉, where the Yellow River estuary meets the sea. Seeing this view is no easy feat 😤, requiring a drive along a long seawall stretching dozens of kilometers 💦. Finally, we arrived at the entrance 🎫, bought tickets, took a shuttle bus 🚌, then went to the pier ⛵️, queued to buy tickets for the boat, and finally boarded the boat to see the "Yuan Yang Hot Pot" 🍲. The journey alone took more than half a day 🕐. To be fair, the scenery is indeed spectacular, provided the weather is good ☀️, otherwise the two-tone effect isn't as pronounced.

It was very lively with children participating in a study tour. The staff on the sightseeing bus were exceptionally professional, which really exceeded my expectations. Driving here, we took the national highway, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking. The parking lot was very large, and there were so many RV travelers that you had to drive further in to find a space.

The room was clean and tidy, the service was attentive and thoughtful, the environment was beautiful and quiet, and the facilities were complete and advanced. The stay was excellent, and I was very satisfied with everything. Five-star review!

It was mainly because it was too hot, so many rides were closed. However, the venues were all open, so you could go in and cool off. I bought a pass, which was much cheaper to buy online! You can watch movies inside and learn about ancient weapons and ancient marshals.

Friendly reminder: Be sure to check the tide table in advance; you can go beachcombing for small crabs at low tide. Bring your own buckets, nets, and other tools. For dining, I recommend Yuxiangyuan Restaurant in Xianhe Town, which serves stir-fried free-range chicken, stir-fried blackfish slices, stir-fried tofu, and delicious duck egg with mung bean noodles.

The DJI took off and I could see the sea in the distance clearly. I could see clearly that the red ribbon was made up of sparse reddish salsa grasses overlapping in my sight. The sun shone on the land in western Shandong that was nourished by the Yellow River. If the sun had not given the earth this gold, if the salsa grass had not painted the earth with this rich fiery red, we would only feel desolate and lonely here. This day allowed me to get my first acquaintance with Dongying, this vast seaside town.

Dongying Yellow River Cultural Center is jointly built, managed and shared by the Office of the Chinese Local Chronicles Steering Group, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources and Dongying City. It is a comprehensive center integrating book collection, reading, research and exhibition. It was rated as a national 3A scenic spot in 2018. The Yellow River Cultural Center is the first "national" venue in Dongying City, with the names of the Yellow River Branch of the National Local Chronicles Center, the Dongying Local Chronicles Center and the Yellow River Cultural Museum. It aims to create a patriotic education base that is a symbol of the Yellow River culture, a model of the National Local Chronicles Center and a business card of Dongying culture.

Beautiful urban park with great views from the central island.

You only pay for the ride. It depends on your ability to dig as much as you want. It's very good. There were a lot of Gala in the past few years, but they are few and small in the past two years. It's not as good as in the past few years. Maybe the number of tourists has increased and the staff can't keep up. Wear sunscreen when you go here, otherwise you will get sunburned.
