River wetlands

Huanghe Shuixiang National Wetland Park (黄河水乡国家湿地公园) is enclosed by the Beizhan Embankment (北展大堤), the inner side of the Yellow River embankment and National Highway 309. Qihe County Government records Oriental storks, common cranes and white-fronted geese among the wild birds found there. It also records black swans wintering in the wetland for the first time in 2019.

Museums and collections

The Qihe Museum Cluster (齐河博物馆群) includes a display resembling a full banquet made from mineral specimens. Other collections described by the county government include agarwood carvings and brushwork by successful imperial examination candidates from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
