let us come together
Take a closer look at the mother river~
The Yellow River, a large river in northern China, has a total length of about 5,464 kilometers and a drainage area of about 752,443 square kilometers. The sixth longest river in the world and the second longest river in China.
Source of the Yellow River—Xingxiu Sea
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the snow-melt water from the Bayan Har Mountains slowly gathers in the narrow basin below the mountain, forming a shallow lake area densely covered with lakes—the Xingxiu Sea, which is the source of the Yellow River described in ancient books.
These lakes are hundreds of square meters in size, and only a few square meters in size. They are densely packed and scattered like stars in the sky, so they are called Xingxiu sea, or a peacock’s screen. Therefore, the local Tibetans call Xingxiu sea “Ma Ocean”, which means “Peacock Beach”.
The First Bend of Nine Twists of the Yellow River
The first bend of the Jiuqu Yellow River is located on the Tangke Prairie in Ruoergai County, Sichuan. The Yellow River flows eastward from the Gansu side and meets the Baihe River originating in Hongyuan here, forming what is called “a solemn illusion in the universe” by Chinese and foreign scientists. “!”
Climb up the high hills and look far away, you can see the grasslands spread out, and the serpentine waters meandering away from the sky.
In the vast wilderness, take the purity of the plateau, gather the power of epic, look back to the north, and go away quietly.
loess plateau
In the next itinerary, the Yellow River will flow through the area with the most fragile ecology and the most exaggerated soil erosion on the earth: the Loess Plateau.
Every year, more than one billion tons of loess is carried by the rain and poured into the Yellow River. The huge amount of sediment makes the river muddy and changes the properties of the river.
Yellow River Liujia Gorge
The clear water of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau meets the turbid current of the Loess Plateau. So far, the Yellow River has become the real Yellow River, and the Yellow River water of “a bowl of water and half a bowl of sand” will also show its talents in the next nearly 3,000 kilometers of journey.
Yellow River Grand Canyon
Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon is more than 10 kilometers long, 50-100 meters wide, and the cliff walls on both sides are more than 30 meters high.
Saturated infrared, mixed with many other colors, stands like strangely burning flaming mountains along the canyon.
The Yellow River surges out from it, and the forests and terraced fields on the bank become the boundary between the river and the Red Mountain.
The gullies on the Danxia Canyon seem to accompany the Yellow River at the foot, and they have been seen for hundreds of thousands of years in the same old way.
Yellow River Stone Forest
Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Spot is located in the southeast of Jingtai County, Baiyin City. This is an ancient and unique landform spectacle, soaked in a strong primitive ancient charm.
The Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Spot combines the Yellow River, stone forests, deserts, Gobi, oases, farms and other resources ingeniously.
Yellow River Hukou Waterfall
Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. It is also the scenery on the back of the fourth set of RMB 50.
“The wind is roaring, the horse is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring…”
In most people’s minds, Hukou Waterfall is very majestic, with fast-flowing water, tens of thousands of horses galloping together, and the sound shaking the sky.
The Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is beautiful all year round, but the Hukou Waterfall in winter is even more spectacular.
Many sections of the river have become natural ice bridges. In the past, the places where the waterfalls hung high were covered with icicles. If it is colder, the entire water surface will freeze, and a rare huge ice waterfall will form.
Sanmenxia Yellow River Dam
Sanmenxia Dam on the Yellow River is located in the northeast of Sanmenxia City, Henan Province. It is the first large-scale water conservancy project built in my country on the main stream of the Yellow River, and is known as “the first dam of the Yellow River for thousands of miles”.
The 120 kilometers from the Sanmenxia Dam to the Dayu Ferry in Ruicheng, Shanxi, is covered with sparkling blue waves, endless, like the Milky Way in Tianchi Lake.
The green mountains and green trees on both sides of the strait stretch continuously, and the mountains and rivers are picturesque.
xiaolangdi
Xiaolangdi of the Yellow River is located on the border of Luoyang City and Jiyuan City, spanning the north and south banks of the Yellow River, with canyon rivers as the main feature, and belongs to the large-scale mountain lake-type scenic spot that reflects the history, culture and natural scenery of the Yellow River.
Bali Hutong Gorge, Longfeng Gorge, and Gushan Gorge are deep and deep, known as the “Three Gorges of the Yellow River”.
Large-scale hydraulic structures such as Xiaolangdi Dam and water intake towers are feats in the history of the Chinese nation’s Yellow River control.
Yellow River Estuary
Located in Huanghekou Town, Kenli County, Dongying City, Shandong Province, it is located at the confluence of the Bohai Sea and Laizhou Bay. It is the mouth of the Jiuqu Yellow River after traveling thousands of kilometers inland.
When the Yellow River flows into the sea, there is a clear separation between the Yellow River and the Blue River, and it reclaims 200 hectares of land every year.
The combination of the magnificence of the estuary and the tranquil beauty of the sunset over the long river can be called a wonder in the world.
The Jiuqu Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, and its surging yellow water has nurtured hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
The surging river carries the infinite hope and longing of this ancient nation for the future.
Thousands of years, thousands of years, the torrential waves flow endlessly. The fervent love of the children of the Yellow River, the endless loess songs floating in the rolling yellow sand, and the nine-curved river beach cannot contain the brilliant life of the Chinese nation!
