Yalu River Estuary National Wetland Birdwatching Park

Yalu River

Yalu River is the border river between China and North Korea. It is not only an important geographical boundary line but also showcases unique characteristics through its distinct natural ecology, profound historical heritage, and vivid landscape. It is endowed with unique natural ecology and landform features. The river gets its name from its greenish water color. As it flows through Dandong, the river surface becomes wide and gentle, with lush green mountains on both banks. At the estuary, the confluence of saltwater and freshwater nurtures vast coastal tidal wetlands. This wetland is an important energy supply station for migratory bird flyways. Every spring and fall, hundreds of thousands of migratory birds stop here, forming a spectacular ecological view. At the same time, abundant water resources and a suitable climate make Dandong a high-quality production area for specialty agricultural products such as strawberries, chestnuts, and tussah silkworms. This river, with its beautiful natural backdrop, rich historical imprints, and open border city posture, outlines a uniquely charming picture on the Liaodong land.
