Zhang Qinglin, a resident of Ronghe town, Wanrong county, Shanxi province, visits the Fenhe River, a couple of kilometers from his home, every other day. The 75-year-old enjoys watching the river meander through wetland before it joins the Yellow River, China's second-longest waterway. "There was a time when the Fenhe's water quality had deteriorated. It was like the river you had been living on for generations had got sick. Now, though, the extensive wetland is helping to make the water clean and reduce flooding," he said.
