Day 4

Xinqing crane marsh

About 30 minutes back south, boardwalks cross the sedge marshes of the county known as the home of the hooded crane; spring and autumn bring the migration.

Day 6

Huilongwan river bend

About 30 minutes south of downtown at Meixi, a horseshoe bend of forested river — short trails and a boat loop fill the afternoon.
