Yellow River Water Conservancy Scenic Area in Zibo

The Yellow River Water Conservancy Scenic Area in Zibo is a national water conservancy scenic area.

The Yellow River Water Conservancy Scenic Area in Zibo, Shandong, is located in Gaoqing County of Zibo City. It is primarily developed based on hydraulic engineering structures for Yellow River flood control, including dangerous works, guide banks, silt-back areas, sluice gates, ecological forests, as well as water and soil resources. The scenic area consists of an ecological zone along the Yellow River and two extended functional zones set against the backdrop of the river (Aili Lake and Dalu Lake). The ecological zone along the Yellow River features the Yellow River floodplain, hydraulic projects, shelterbelts, and eco-agriculture outside the levees as its main tourism resources, while the two extended functional zones are dominated by wetland landscapes. The area enjoys high vegetation coverage, lush forests, and scenic views that complement the embankments, creating a distinctive three-dimensional landscape. Three themed parks—“Warning,” “Ecology,” and “Source”—have been established in the scenic area. A tourism development plan has been formulated and is currently being implemented step by step.
