Shanghai Chongming Dongtan National Bird Nature Reserve Travel Guide

Perched on the eastern tip of Chongming Island, the Shanghai Chongming Dongtan National Bird Nature Reserve is a haven of tranquility, where the Yangtze River's siltation has given birth to a vast expanse of freshwater to brackish water swamps, tidal gullies and intertidal flats, creating a unique wetland ecosystem. Spanning an impressive 32,600 hectares, this reserve is a vital sanctuary for water birds, accounting for nearly 8% of Shanghai's total wetland area. As the waters ebb and flow, the reserve transforms into a kaleidoscope of habitats, supporting an incredible array of wildlife.
