As the second-largest tributary of the Yellow River, Fenhe River stretches over 710 km, feeding a quarter of the population of Shanxi, thus known as the \”mother river\” of Shanxi.
In recent years, Shanxi has rolled out a series of rules and regulations to accelerate the treatment and protection of rivers and lakes. Many wetland parks were set up along rivers, attracting a large number of migratory birds.
