Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon | Watch the Yellow River rolling and admire the towering mountains

The Yellow River is ancient, the universe was vast and yellow, and it has been flowing there since the beginning of the universe, nurturing Chinese civilization. The Yellow River is cutting-edge, over 160 years, it has pushed the coastline, allowing the North China Plain to have more than 2,300 square kilometers of land. The Helan Mountain Range stands tall and cold, but allows the Yellow River, which is silent in Maqu County, to pass by it without restraint, freely and happily. Majestic Helan Mountain, surging Yellow River. The mountain is beautiful because of the water, and the water is spiritual because of the mountain. A mountain and a river nourish this seemingly desolate and barren land outside the Great Wall. Sweet crops such as goji berries, red dates, and corn grow lushly from the land, nurturing generations of people and enriching the branches of Chinese civilization. Endlessly, thriving, adding color to the big family of the Chinese nation. The wind wants to shake, the sound wants to rise. The blue clouds are staggering, the eyes are full of yellow, the bumps are slight, and they come and go like this.
