  Beidaihe - Migration Hub of the Orient
I first visited Beidaihe, a resort on China's east coast, in spring 1985, and have returned each year since, mostly as leader or co-leader of migration surveys and birding tours, a couple of times for a holiday.
Lying 280 kilometres east of Beijing, Beidaihe is on the edge of the Bay of Bohai, the northernmost extent of the East China Sea.
Leading from Beidaihe to the south of what was once called Manchuria, this plain apparently serves as a migration corridor — especially for birds of grassland and wetland, such as geese, bustards, and cranes.

 Beidaihe - Lay Back and Close Your Eyes
Although Beidaihe was originally designed by foreigners as a resort town during colonialist times, after the Communists came to power in 1949 the town came to serve as a venue for China's political leaders to meet, rest and plot the course of the nation.
While the beaches at Beidaihe are not particularly beautiful, the sand and water are clean and a dip in the seawater, which was still rather cool at the time of my visit, offers a refreshing respite from the summer heat.
Many visitors will find, however, that imagined distressing images of desperate grief are soon replaced by the satisfaction of self-indulgence after their return to Beidaihe as they enjoy a seafood meal and a couple of drinks while looking out to sea, feeling the brush of the sea breeze while relishing the oncoming calmness of dusk.

South of Beidaihe are three estuarine areas: the muddy lagoon of Qilihai, which has only a narrow channel to the sea, the mouth of the Luanhe (Luan River), and a complex of sandbars and mudflats off the mouth of the Daqinghe.
Though, as it does at Beidaihe, the green wall sometimes covers land that was used by resting storks, cranes, geese, and Great Bustards, it is probably an important habitat for migrant songbirds, which previously might have found little cover along long stretches of coast.
