Tamarix chinensis in Yellow River Estuary Eco-tourism Area
Walking around the Yellow River Estuary, Tamarix trees can be seen everywhere, some of which are three clusters and five plants, growing in the fields on the roadside; Some hundreds of branches are clustered together, climbing branches, connecting and thriving; More is densely paved layer by layer, surrounded by pale stems and soft branches, which has become another wonder of the Yellow River estuary. Tamarix chinensis blooms three times a year, also known as "Sanchunliu", which is an excellent tree species with salt and alkali tolerance, drought and flood control, poverty alleviation, soil improvement, environmental beautification, wind prevention and sand fixation. Tamarix also has the function of a prophet before rain. Before the rain, the branches and leaves were particularly tall and moist, and the flowers were particularly gorgeous and intoxicating, so it was called "Rain Master". It is no exaggeration for the ancients to say that Tamarix is a "saint in the forest". The flowering period of Tamarix chinensis lasts for half a year. The brewed honey is amber, fatty, sweet and refreshing, and it is a good product for nutrition and fitness. The hard branches of Tamarix chinensis can provide diced flowers, extract tannin extract, weave flower baskets and make bonsai, which is a generous gift for the people of the Yellow River Estuary. In autumn, the vast Tamarix forest is burning in the plain, adding a tragic elegant demeanour to the Yellow River. Millions of acres of Tamarix forest are swaying in the wind, weeping willows are like willows, gulls fly wild, badger cranes dance, foxes and rabbits haunt, and hundreds of birds live, and the flowers are elegant and rich, which is refreshing.
