Changli Golden Beach, Hebei province
The Changli Golden Beach lies in northeast Hebei Province. It was formed 2,000 to 3,000 years ago by sand brought by the Liugu River that empties into the Bohai Sea in neighboring Liaoning province. Originating in the Yanshan Mountains that extend from northeast Beijing eastward to the Bohai Gulf, the river deposits huge quantities of silt into the sea, which drifts southwest with the current, driven by the strong northeasterly winds and piles up along the west coast of the gulf. The sand is then blown up by the northeast wind and after a short distance falls down on the beach, creating dunes.
