I went to Yancheng over the weekend, and my friends thought I went to Tanzania.

Swipe left to see the live photos! Can you imagine? Just 2 hours from Shanghai, there is such a hidden gem - Yancheng. Now is the best time to see wild elk. Yancheng is full of surprises after the temperature drops. Here, you can see herds of lively wild elk and many migratory birds. In Yelu Dang, Dafeng, Yancheng, a wild and spectacular natural landscape like Africa is being staged. 📍Location: Yelu Dang, Yancheng 🎫Ticket: CNY 20 per person. 🚄Transportation: If you take the high-speed train, go to Yancheng Station first, and then drive for about 1 hour after leaving the station; if you drive, it will take about 4 hours from Shanghai. 🕔Opening hours: 9:00–17:00 🔴Travel tips: 1⃣ From the end of November to March or April of the following year, this period is the best viewing season. At this time, the elk are very active, and you can also see many migratory birds from the north. 2⃣ Remember to bring a telephoto lens with a focal length of at least 200mm. Drone photography is also great (there are tidal trees 2 km away from Yelu Dang that you can take pictures of). 3⃣ You can come after 3 pm, and you may be able to enjoy a beautiful sunset. 4⃣ If you want to see wild elk for free, you can navigate to Qiming Road. However, the elk here are relatively small in scale, but you may have the chance to see them crossing the road. Finally, let's call for the protection of wild animals. Please don't disturb the wild elk when watching them.
