The Yellow River, the mother river of China and the fifth longest river in the world, carries the 5,000-year history of civilization of the Chinese nation. Originating from the Bayankala Mountains on the Tibetan Plateau, passing through nine provinces and finally emptying into the Bohai Sea, every piece of land through which the Yellow River flows is imprinted with a deep history and culture. Now, we are looking for four beautiful wonders along the Yellow River, which are like four brilliant pearls, embedded in the banks of the Yellow River, adding a beautiful scenery to the west and east of China.
1. The source of the Yellow River - the clear and transparent "Jiangnan".
In people's imagination, the Yellow River is always muddy and full of sediment. However, the source of the Yellow River is clear and transparent, like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It is located in Maduo County, Qinghai Province, where the scenery is mainly based on the seasonal meltwater of the Kunlun Mountains, Bayankala Mountains and other mountain ranges. Here, you can see what the Yellow River originally looked like, a clear blue water, sparkling, as if it were a mirror, reflecting the blue of the sky and the whiteness of the clouds.
2. Hukou Waterfall - the roar of the Yellow River.
Hukou Waterfall is one of the most well-known attractions along the Yellow River and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. The two banks of Hukou Waterfall are Shanxi and Shaanxi, and no matter which side you look at, you can feel the momentum of the Yellow River rushing forward. Here, you can hear the roar of the Yellow River, which is the sound of it pouring down from a high place and hitting the riverbed. You can also see the waves of the Yellow River, which are the splashes it makes all the way. This strong sense of shock hits people's hearts.
3. Incense Burner Temple - a historical site on the cliff.
The Incense Burner Temple is located on the top of the Incense Burner Peak in Yulin, and it is a man-made historical site. There is only one road connecting the entire incense burner temple to the outside world, and the other three sides are in "zero distance" contact with the sky, one of which is facing the Yellow River flowing forward. Standing on the incense burner temple, you can see the Yellow River flowing past your feet, and it is an incomparably magnificent feeling. The existence of the incense burner temple is also a symbol of human reverence for nature and respect for history.
4. Laoniuwan - the confluence of the Yellow River and the Great Wall.
Laoniuwan is one of the most peculiar attractions along the Yellow River, it is located at the junction of Jin and Mongolia, where the Yellow River flows from Inner Mongolia into Shanxi. Here, the most amazing thing is the meeting point of the Yellow River and the Great Wall. You can see the ancient Great Wall winding its way all the way to the edge of the Yellow River. The Yellow River flows quietly here, as if telling the ancient history. This kind of scene makes people feel extremely shocked and moved, as if they have traveled back to ancient China through time and space.
V. Conclusion. The Yellow River is the mother river of China and the symbol of the Chinese nation. Along the Yellow River, there are many beautiful landscapes and profound cultural history. From the clear source of the Yellow River to the roaring Hukou Waterfall, from the incense burner temple on the cliff to the ancient Great Wall and the meeting point of the Yellow River, these are the most beautiful scenery belts of the Yellow River and the treasures of Chinese culture. I hope that every Chinese can personally experience these beautiful scenery and feel the charm of the Yellow River and the greatness of China.
