Journey to Gannan (9): Who says the Yellow River must be yellow?

🗓Itinerary: D9, Linxia—Liujiakou Reservoir—Yellow River Confluence—Bingling Temple—Tianshui 🌟Highlights: Liujiakou Reservoir, Yellow River Confluence Bingling Temple ❤Reasons for recommendation: Liujiakou Reservoir area is very large. There are many scenic spots. First, the Filial Son Peak in the Geological Park. From this point, you can see the Yellow River, which is narrow and wide, and the river is green. There is a brick-red stone pillar by the river. This is a Danxia landform feature, formed by water erosion, like a person standing next to the mother river. Second, the Benchi Gully in the Geological Park, where the river flows in the canyon, the mountains are high and the valley is deep, which is very impressive. The Liujiakou Bridge is built here. Standing on the bridge and looking down, there are a row of steep mountains in the water, which feels like a water Danxia. The Yellow River intersects with the Tao River in Yongjing County. The two rivers intertwine at the foot of the mountain. On one side is the thick Tao River tributary like mud, and on the other side is the smooth Yellow River main stream like a jade belt. The two rivers meet, the clear ones are clear, the turbid ones are turbid, the Jingwei is clearly still combined into one, and they are inclusive of each other. This is the second gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yellow River, Liujiakou. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at the confluence, it is very beautiful. After turning a few mountains down to Bingling Gorge (the first gorge), you can sit on the boat and enjoy the Danxia landform on both sides. The river here is winding and winding, and it is very ornamental with the Danxia mountain landform on the shore. The Bingling Temple Grottoes are in the Danxia mountain on the opposite bank. Sitting on the boat, you can vaguely take pictures of the grotto statues with your mobile phone, or you can get off the boat and climb the mountain to visit. The Bingling Temple Grottoes are built by the water and built on the hanging mountain, which is very characteristic. 👍Most Recommended✅Must Experience Take a boat to the dam water park to experience various surfing. Swim in the blue Yellow River, blow the Yellow River wind in the canyon, watch the blue Yellow River water, and enjoy the freedom and happiness. 🚉Transportation Strategy: The Geological Park on the shore of Liujiakou Reservoir is free of charge.

The ticket price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. ⏳Play time: Stay at each place in the Geological Park on the ground of Liujiakou Reservoir for about 1 hour. It takes 2 hours to take a boat down the river to Bingling Temple. It takes 2 hours to visit the Yellow River Dam area and the amusement park.
