Yalu River welcomes phenomenal bird migration

Each year during the spring and autumn migratory seasons, a phenomenal wave of birds appears on the mudflats at the mouth of the Yalu River in Dandong, Liaoning province.

This area is a vital site along the East Asia-Australasia flyway of migratory birds. In July, as part of the Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf of China (Phase II), the Yalu River estuary was designated a World Heritage Site.
