The river is closely intermingled with the lives of the Chinese. It resembles China’s Yellow River in some ways in spite of having half as much flow, with a basin area of 319,000 kilometres. The muddy silt in the base is indeed something that the Yellow River and Haihe have in common. During the rainy seasons this leads to adverse outcomes with severe flooding at the lower regions where the silt deposits. This has more than dire consequences for both China’s capital as well as Tianjin as they are both located alongside of Haihe’s banks.
But the river is not always so undesirable. In fact it is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the city. From its history as a junction for navigation and as a focal point for trade and business dealings, the river bank has indeed metamorphosed into a fascinating place of entertainment and recreation. Of the many exquisite locations found along the river including the Daguangming Bridge, the Haihe Park is perhaps the most enviably positioned. The park is indeed a crowded picture of budding greenery, well contrasted with neat lawns, bright flowers , clusters of shrubs and overhanging foliage that flaunt their charm with native grace.
On the other hand the Haihe amusement park is the place where one can partake in some great cruises along the famous Haihe River with motor boat rides or even engage in various other inland activities.
