At noon and a few friends for dinner, they chatted to bring a friend of the estuary in Dongying, in a bit tipsy feeling raising a hubbub, made a phone call to say about going to visit. God had no other side to come back three hours later I was sitting in front of him.
The next day after eating breakfast, a friend asked if I want to see anything, do not hesitate to answer: look at the Yellow River estuary.
Of the Yellow River is no stranger to me, all year round living in "the south mountain, the north is the river, the middle water" in Jinan, for this turn of the Yellow River every day around the city, nature will not be unfamiliar, and also know the history of the Yellow River wins big Qinghe into the sea, so that "economic water south" and named for the proliferation of a number of cities in the number of "yellow water of the South" flavor.
However, no matter how familiar with the Yellow River, have never been to it if the source has not approached its mouth, it can not be said about this river. For the Yellow River estuary, in the past to listen to a number of friends, of which there is a bit mysterious description of vision, so to have a strong idea of the estuary is to see to it have not patronize but desirable scenarios.
A friend to go to city meetings, entrusted me to a friend Lao Gao and Pharaoh, so that they accompany. Although feeling a bit spoiled, a bit embarrassed, but not finding a way out can not afford to Zhefan enthusiasm. I thought so Ye Hao, someone to tell us, of course, look much stronger than their own.
The mouth of the estuary between the resident and there are about thirty or forty miles look for the car is not really what we are ready to set off to the Yellow River mouth.
On the road Lao Gao said that the Yellow River estuary name in the mouth of the Yellow River Pentium place thousands of miles into the sea, due to sediment carried by the Yellow River each year to be deposited here, a few acres of land, so here is the youngest of the Republic of the land .
The youngest of the land, how nicely ah! Young is the hope of giving birth to a beautiful future.
The car heading south. Looked from the window where the sun has risen, the feel of where the sun rose too early than in Jinan, but also many bright. A heavy rain last night, eager, sprinkle get just the right time to withdraw today's journey to a small cooler, failure to mention how cozy windy. Here the brink of the sea, there is no dust pollution, the sky is very clean, just wipe the mirror like a face. To leave the city, physically and mentally also immediately immersed in an atmosphere filled with the green of the world, if the green wilderness of endless.
The Yellow River delta scene, there is a bit wild, a bit shrouded, as well as a bit poetic. Dense reed, Tamarix boundless, broad vision, the blue sky, white clouds, sunlight, and which piece of the bright water, constitutes a "green and wild boundless," a unique spectacle. In this boundless sight of the scenery and walk through, not feel feelings among the many feelings and pride.
I know really want to see the scene of the Yellow River into the sea is not an easy thing to do, this is not the need to take risks, how much effort, but the Yellow River shy personality makes knowledge difficult to be identified.
Yellow unlike the Yangtze River, Pearl River and other rivers, river stability, estuaries remain unchanged. In the past, the Yellow River estuary does not have a fixed location, over the years like a hide and seek child, is always elusive. This must be attributed to the Yellow River sediment was great. Loess Plateau, Yellow River water carrying silt, mighty went to come, and so will be the time to see the sea, just like lost spiritual support, and totally destroyed the sand, a disposal, without consulting anybody go to the depths of the sea. Yellow sand deposited on the mouth, the more the higher the plot. Deposition of sediment to estuaries elevation, and the water to flow, the mettle they will not change, so will be looking for another place of the Yellow River into the sea. The mouth of many years is not stable, drift downstream into the mouth threatening people's lives and production. Now, relying on the scientific approach has been stabilized into the sea, but the many years of pressure in the mouth of the people one their minds.
That is difficult to see the Yellow River into the sea, but also more than that. The Yellow River flow into the sea, river wide up, slowing down water, shallow water, a thin layer of water open to the flow to the depths of the sea. Since no obvious protruding into the sea coast, where the East meets the Yellow River and the water again in the depths of beach, so the situation is difficult to see into the sea.
However, this does not diminish some of us to look for the mouth of enthusiasm.
Walking along the street, wild in many busy pumping into our field of vision, that together with a volt tireless appearance, gives a diligent impression. This is China's second largest oil field - Shengli Oilfield Gudong oilfield.
Gudong oilfield, but said to be from the sea to fish out the oil field. In the early exploration when it was still a muddy beach, whenever the sea at high tide, there will be submerged in an ocean of. Later, the people in order to oil production and security, coastal sea built up a high dam, only then completely stopped in the outside seawater. Now this piece of oil per year more than 400 million tons of stable production of oil, accounting for one-fifth of the total output of Shengli Oilfield.
In this oil the tree-covered areas, due to the amount of groundwater with high salinity, but few tall trees. Here, the seedlings began to grown very well, such as trees grow slightly larger, and the root must prick their high concentration of salt water, where the tree began to wither, so here it is difficult to see the dense forest, but there is a the growth of trees is very dense, and this is Hongliu.
Tamarix, also known as tamarisk, is a small deciduous tree, in particular, alkali resistance, Sahan. This leaves the same as the cypress branches, spring and summer is green, and driving some small white flowers, while in the fall, it will become a red-brown. Lao Gao said, you look at is a green customs, such as the vast expanse of rippling waves, when the fall season, will be replaced by endless Hongliu brilliant red containers, blatantly in the wind, the sun shines, where pride in the wind and rain, then the time is not only beautiful scenery, but also provide a sense of life and great tenacity.
A friend told me that, despite the few trees here, there is a very well-known "tree."
The twentieth century, after the Shengli oil field found in the sixties, a group of prospectors from around the country come to this piece of barren land, such as in the vast wilderness of the sea to find oil. Because here, deserted, there is no tag, or even do not even have names, for exploration has brought many inconveniences. One day, there was a exploration technicians tired, they sat on the floor smoothly to a willow branch as a walking stick inserted in the ground, nor after a rest and then took away the branches. Is this willow branches, "willow shade getting results" and later grow into a willow, and even then only a tree. Later, to facilitate people to identify and define the position, saying there is "a tree." Beat that, in the name of a tree called up oil region, where villages have been built as "a Shue Estate." Today, this sized thick willow has not escaped the salt of the infringement, has withered, leaving only a length roots. But people do not want to forget this tree are unwilling to forget the story of the tree and those pioneering years, storing in a tree around a pond, side by side of a monument to commemorate the development of the Yellow River Delta of those memorable past.
Goodbye to the "tree", came to the Yellow River estuary, the people on board and build the observation deck, climb into the Yellow River, overlooking the distant sea, intentions to visit the vast Napian frank picture. In your field of vision, the blue sky, white clouds, green, azure water, lays out a cachet of natural scenery, magnificent scenery open. Here and now of the Yellow River, docile like a sleeping child, quietly lying on the vast expanse of reeds and grass Hongliu among the quiet and elegant. The face of this raising of the Chinese nation, the Yellow River, the face of this magnificent mother river open, sincere sense of l over an intimate feeling with a return to the beauty of nature, feelings, can not but feel proud of the great Yellow River.
