Wetland Park of Ancient Yellow River

Due to the flood of the Yellow River in history, the ancient Yellow River is now the Huai River. This is a mother river that crosses the central city of Huai'an. In 2007, the former Qinghe District began to build a wetland park on the south bank of the ancient Huai River, and opened in 2009, with a total investment of 2.1 billion yuan. The park is located in the warm temperate zone and the transition area of the North Subtropical Region, located on the geographical north-south dividing line of China, which also creates unique wetland climate types and wetland biological types.

When I first arrived in Huai'an, I was very curious to see that there was an old road of the Yellow River. How did the Yellow River stir together? It turned out that the Yellow River has been a multi-sand river since ancient times. After the Tang and Song Dynasty, the sediment increased. Some of these sediments are accumulated on the lower river bed, accumulated over the years, the river bed is silted high, all by the levees, and the river is suspended for a long time. Every time the big ripples, the light overflows, and the heavy river is relocated. According to rough statistics, the flood of the lower reaches of the Yellow River was recorded about 1,500 times before the 1950s, and there were 20 or 30 major diversions. The floods spread north to the Haihe River and South Dahuai River, straddling and crossing 250,000 square kilometers, which has a huge impact on the geographical environment of the Huanghuaihai Plain in China. So there is a saying of "the Yellow River to take Huaihuai into the sea."

In the winter season, in the ancient Yellow River Park, the maple leaves have been red, brilliant as the glow.

The Yellow River's past path, the Yellow River has been rerouted many times in history, and once washed out an mouth into the sea here. A small park centered on him, but the area is small and the river is very narrow. It is difficult to imagine the scene of the Yellow River.
