Dong'e Yellow River Water Conservancy Scenic Area

Dong'e Yellow River Water Conservancy Scenic Area is a national water conservancy scenic area.

Dong'e Yellow River Water Conservancy Scenic Area is located in Dong'e County, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, and is built upon the Yellow River embankments, main irrigation canals, and supporting hydraulic projects.

The scenic area is a natural river-lake type water conservancy scenic spot, spanning over 100 square kilometers, with about 20 square kilometers covered by water. It is based on the unique landforms along the Yellow River and the adjacent protective forest belts, organically integrating Yellow River culture with local historical and cultural landscapes. It highlights the unique features of the “narrowest section in the lower reaches of the Yellow River” and the “area with the highest concentration of dangerous stretches.” The scenic area boasts a favorable natural ecological environment and abundant scenic resources, featuring exclusive engineering sights such as Aishan Narrows (the narrowest point in the lower Yellow River), Weishan Yellow River Diversion Dam, and the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project’s Yellow River crossing structure. In addition, cultural attractions like the Dong'e Donkey-hide Gelatin Museum, Cao Zhi’s Tomb, and Jingjue Temple add a rich historical and cultural ambiance to the site.
