It is composed of scenic spots along the Green Corridor of Binhe Road in Lanzhou City, including Zhongshan Bridge, the Yellow River Mother Statue, Waterwheel Park and other famous attractions.
With Zhongshan Bridge as its central axis and the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River as its support, this riverside scenic area, built on the mountainside, is ingeniously constructed and is called "Lanzhou Bund" by guests from all over the country.
There are sheepskin rafts and yachts near Zhongshan Bridge. It is the most exciting to ride on an ancient sheepskin raft on the ancient Yellow River. It looks a bit dangerous, but it is actually very stable.

Yellow River Scenic Line Introduction:
The Yellow River originates from Qinghai. The waters flowing through Lanzhou are not as wide as those in the lower reaches. However, the 40-mile Yellow River scenic line built by Lanzhou people with huge investment has become the first choice for people's leisure and entertainment. Even some tourists from the south praise its beauty. The Qilihe Yellow River Bridge is majestic and unique in shape. Although it has only three main piers, it relies on two bundles of steel pipes on the bridge deck to make the bridge more solid and pleasing to the eye. The "Mother Yellow River" statue not far from the bridge is world-famous, so it attracts many tourists to take photos here every day. Not far from the "Mother Yellow River" is the "Lanzhou Waterwheel Park". The two waterwheels that are tens of meters high are no longer "idle", but they seem to tell the past of the Yellow River in Lanzhou. The waterwheel was created by Duan Xu, a native of Duanjiatai, Lanzhou in the Ming Dynasty. It once irrigated thousands of acres of fertile land on both sides of the Yellow River. However, the most exciting thing is the Yellow River Cableway not far from the "Waterwheel Park". etc......
When I arrived in Lanzhou, the water level of the Yellow River was quite high. Judging from the benches and trees soaked in the river, the Yellow River had exceeded the usual water level. Seeing that the sheepskin raft dock had reached the middle of the river, we knew that our dream of riding a sheepskin raft to travel the Yellow River would be in vain. Walk at least 3 kilometers upstream along the river bank to see the Yellow River Mother Statue. In fact, this statue is much smaller than expected, and even the image is not as good as expected, but perhaps because of the good meaning, or the Yellow River complex of the descendants of Yan and Huang, there are always endless tourists in front of the Yellow River Mother Statue.
The Yellow River Scenic Line is the core scenic spot of Lanzhou City. It starts from Yantan in Chengguan District in the east and ends at the west of Xigu District in the west. The north-south riverside road is more than 100 miles long and is the longest urban riverside road in the country.
The Yellow River Scenic Line takes Zhongshan Bridge as its central axis and relies on the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River. It is a riverside scenic area built on the mountain and is ingeniously created. It is called "Lanzhou Bund" by guests from all over the country.
There is Baitashan Park after Zhongshan Bridge. If you don't cross the bridge, you can go rafting on sheepskin rafts along the Yellow River, and then there is Green Park. There are sculptures of Tang Monk and his disciples seeking Buddhist scriptures, Waterwheel Park, and Yellow River Mother Sculpture. All the unique beauty of Lanzhou is displayed. It is worth mentioning that Lanzhou volunteers give guidance to outsiders on every major traffic route, answer questions and solve doubts, which is very considerate. Thank you very much.
The Yellow River is the mother river of Lanzhou, and this sculpture also reflects the love of the people of Lanzhou for the Yellow River. It is recommended to start from the Yellow River Mother Statue, walk east along the south bank of the Yellow River to Zhongshan Bridge, then cross Zhongshan Bridge and climb up to Baita Mountain in the north to enjoy the panoramic view of Lanzhou city.
The Yellow River that runs through the city not only moisturizes this dry land, but also injects endless vitality into Lanzhou. On both sides of the river, there is a north-south riverside road that starts from Yantan in Chengguan District in the east and ends at Xigu District in the west, with a total length of more than 100 miles. Most of the scenic spots in Lanzhou are distributed along this line. There are many exquisite sculptures along the way, such as the Yellow River Mother, Pingsha Luoyan, and Journey to the West. Among them, the Yellow River Mother statue, which weighs more than 40 tons, has become one of the symbols of Lanzhou City. This is a must-go place for all tourists, and it is also the starting point for getting close to the Yellow River and feeling the Yellow River culture.
Walking along the Yellow River scenic line, watching the river flowing through the city, and facing the cool breeze from the deep green shade, it makes people feel very comfortable. There are many tea stalls on the river bank. My daughter and I were not in a hurry to get on the road, so we chose one and sat down and ordered a cup of the legendary "San Pao Tai". San Pao Tai uses longan, raisins, jujube, wolfberry, and rock sugar as auxiliary materials, and is paired with spring tea. The "content" is very rich. When brewing, the first brew should be poured out, which is considered to be washing the tea. Start drinking from the second brew (fourth tone, not first tone), and the more you drink, the sweeter it becomes. Like beef noodles, San Pao Tai is only authentic in Lanzhou.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, there is a pier where you can take a sheepskin raft, which is the most primitive and oldest means of ferrying on the Yellow River. Since most of the upper reaches of the Yellow River are pastoral areas, sheepskin is widely available. After inflating it, it is tied to a wooden rack and then tied tightly with ropes.
My daughter and I bought a raft ticket and rode with another family. The water of the Yellow River was sometimes turbulent and sometimes calm, flowing through the gaps in the raft, and the master who "drove the boat" was always calm. There was a "naughty kid" on the shore who was splashing water at us, but unfortunately his aim was a little off, so his mother beat him up and helped us out. Many young people were dancing hip-hop on the shore, and countless kites were circling in the sky. Lanzhou was always full of "freedom".
We swayed and floated towards Zhongshan Bridge.
Lanzhou Bund is a good place to see the Yellow River up close, and then you can take a cable car to the opposite mountain to play.
The Yellow River Scenic Line is more beautiful than I imagined, and the supporting facilities are well done
Lanzhou is the only provincial capital city where the Yellow River runs through the city. A nearly 10-kilometer Yellow River Scenic Line has been built along the Yellow River. The Waterwheel Park and Zhongshan Bridge are both on this line.
It is the entire Yellow River scenic area from the Yellow River Mother Statue to the Zhongshan Bridge! It is recommended to rent a bicycle and ride slowly along the Yellow River! It feels good!
Sitting by the Yellow River in summer, drinking eight-treasure tea, feeling the breeze, and chatting with my parents is really very pleasant.
The three of us had a pot of water and three cups of tea, and chatted until the lights came on. We also took a look at the night view of the Yellow River. It was pretty good.
The only regret is that I didn't take a sheepskin raft to float on the Yellow River.
A scenic belt built along the Yellow River has beautiful landscaping. Along the way, you can see the Yellow River Mother Statue, Zhongshan Bridge, Waterwheel Expo Park, etc. It is also a place for Lanzhou citizens to relax and have fun.
It was my first time seeing the Yellow River from such a close distance, and I was still shocked.
The only large city in China built on both sides of the Yellow River. Although it is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, it is quite wide, the water is a bit red, and the water flows gently. There are green parks on both sides of the river with a comfortable environment, and some of them are close to the Yellow River wetlands. Some areas have special decorations such as water wheels, which are quite suitable for strolling.
The roads on both sides of the Yellow River are crowded with people who come out for leisure and entertainment. It is a good day for a family outing. Looking at this long, yellow Yellow River, I can't help but sigh: The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky.
The core scenic area starts from Yantan in Chengguan District in the east and ends at the west of Xigu District in the west. The north-south riverside road is more than 100 miles long and is currently the longest riverside road in the city. The scenery at dusk and early morning is the best. You can go there at sunrise or sunset.
We walked along Dazhong Lane to the Yellow River and strolled along the Mother River. Along the way, there was the Waterwheel Expo Park, the Yellow River Iron Bridge, the Yellow River Mother Sculpture... To be honest, there was nothing special. In Lanzhou, beef noodles and strolling along the Yellow River are the daily standard. However, in July and August, it was quite relaxing and pleasant to walk along the Yellow River after dinner. The river was bustling with people, children playing, young people drinking, and couples whispering. We accompanied our daughter to play with stones under the Zhongshan Bridge for a while, looking at the night view of the Yellow River. Without the heat of the day, it felt a little cool and dry.
These are old photos taken during a business trip to Lanzhou in 2007. After lunch, I took a walk nearby. The Yellow River is indeed as yellow as its reputation says. I seem to remember there were pig skin rafts next to it, which is also a major feature.
I don't know if the "Yellow River Scenic Line" is where we took the sheepskin raft. It was cloudy when we went there, and there were not many people on the Yellow River. There were only nine of us at the ticket office for the sheepskin raft. Since we were already here and there were no sheepskin rafts to take elsewhere, of course we had to give it a try. Really, the feeling of sitting on the sheepskin raft was great. I don't know how to describe it, it was just very comfortable.
Picture 1 was taken from an aerial view on Zhongshan Bridge; Picture 2 was taken after the ride. It gives a feeling of the coexistence of tradition and modernity, which is quite feel.
The viewing platform avenue centered on Zhongshan Bridge has facilities such as riverside trails and docks. You can take a sheepskin raft or a Yellow River cruise to visit both sides of the Yellow River.
Lanzhou is a big city for viewing the Yellow River, especially when standing on the Zhongshan Bridge and viewing the Yellow River, the majestic aura instantly makes all the worries in my heart disappear! There is a saying that goes, "Have you not seen the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning?" Although this is not the first time I have seen the water of the Yellow River, I can't help but sigh that it is really impossible to wash it clean even if you jump into the Yellow River!
No matter when, walking along this scenic line by the Yellow River, watching the Yellow River rolling by, it feels very pleasant. You can take a break and enjoy a glass of San Pao Tai or a bottle of Huanghe Wang when you are not in a hurry. The cool breeze in summer soothes the rare coolness in the hot summer. You can also take a water bus at the ferry and cruise along the Yellow River. The ticket price is very cheap.
There was heavy rain on the first day of my arrival and the water level of the Yellow River rose sharply. I felt incredible when I saw the water recede on the second day.
The Yellow River runs through the urban area of Lanzhou. It feels that the river water is much more turbulent than the Yellow River in Jinan. The river water has more sediment and the water color is also more yellow. Maybe not far upstream, in the Zhangye section, the Yellow River water is still clear.
The Yellow River is the “long river and setting sun” that Wang Wei was nostalgic for.
The Yellow River is the "waves and winds blowing from the ends of the earth" that Liu Binke sees.
The Yellow River is "a stream of yellow and muddy water running through the Central Plains" under the command of Wang Jinggong.
The Yellow River is similar to what the ancients and modern people see. If one cannot be satisfied, how many people can draw a knife to cut off the water or drink to dispel their sorrow? However, being in the middle of the rolling river, the shock of the waves gave me a visual impact I had never experienced before.
The willow trees along the river are greener, and you can feel the spring coming.
I saw other people's sheepskin rafts drifting. The yellow rafts and yellow water lay in the rapids and floated past in a flash.
Sheepskin rafts are definitely a product of wisdom. There are several of them lined up on the shore. I touched them a few times and they felt "Q-elastic".
In fact, this route is particularly suitable for walking in the morning or after dinner, but I finished it under the scorching sun at noon.
The Yellow River Scenic Line is the core scenic spot of Lanzhou City. It starts from Yantan in Chengguan District in the east and ends at the west of Xigu District in the west. The north-south riverside road is more than 100 miles long and is the longest urban riverside road in the country.

It's nice to stroll along the Yellow River. There are statues and you can see the scenery on both sides! We went there during the Spring Festival. There were not many people and the water was very shallow. We went down to pick up a few stones and brought them back as souvenirs!
Fortunately, it's not far away. It's a free attraction and worth seeing.
The Yellow River has an extraordinary meaning in the lives of Lanzhou people. In the early morning, people do morning exercises, sing, dance, and walk hand in hand along the river. Some even scatter yellow chrysanthemums into the river to express their longing.
In Lanzhou, the Yellow River Scenic Line is the longest scenic line in the country. It starts from Yantan New Bridge in the east and ends at Xiuchuan River Beach in the west. With Zhongshan Bridge as the central axis and the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River as its support, the riverside park, which is built on the mountain and ingeniously crafted, is called "Lanzhou Bund" by guests from all over the country.
On weekend mornings, you can see the beginning of the local people's day by the Yellow River. Everyone expresses their thoughts and feelings to Mother Yellow River in their own unique way, and they have a deep attachment and respect for Mother Yellow River.
In winter, there are many birds flying on the surface of the Yellow River. The locals told me that there is no need to worry about anyone trying to catch them. All the creatures on the Yellow River live in peace and friendship with them. Everything has become a convention.
Strolling along the Yellow River is also a characteristic of Lanzhou
It feels really good to walk along the Yellow River during the day. The water level is lower in winter, so you can walk along the beach and skip stones on the water.
With Zhongshan Bridge as its central axis and the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River as its support, this riverside scenic area is built on the mountainside and is a masterpiece of nature. It is called "Lanzhou Bund" by guests from all over the country.
On the way, I saw a place to sit on a sheepskin raft, which is one of the things I want to do most when I come to Lanzhou. The sheepskin rafts here are sent to the upper reaches by speedboat, and then transferred to a sheepskin raft to slowly swim down, which is both exciting and leisurely. The sheepskin raft can be seated by two to three people, and can seat up to six people. I waited for a while and went with two college girls. Sitting on the raft to watch the mountain scenery and high-rise buildings on both sides of the Yellow River, listening to the boatman singing local folk songs, and watching the rolling muddy currents of the Yellow River, it is still a very good experience. After sitting, I can boldly tell the bees that the sheepskin raft is quite safe. Although sometimes the speedboat passes by and splashes a lot of waves, as long as you sit well and don't move around, the feeling is not called horror but excitement.
The "Yellow River Scenic Line" is built on the mountain. I was very excited when I saw the "Yellow River" for the first time! "With Zhongshan Bridge as the central axis" and "with the scenery on both sides of the river as the support"! Walking and chatting along the line, feeling the surging passion of the mother river and the folk customs, it is quite good! It is recommended to improve the environment along the line, many details, and even many places that can improve culture can be improved! !
It doesn't have the momentum of the Yellow River, and is just a small river compared to the Yangtze River. What a pity
It was the first time I saw the Yellow River. It was not as spectacular as I had imagined. I didn't know it was the Yellow River at first. It seems that the difference between the word "river" and "river" is meaningful. The Yellow River is really yellow.
The thousand-year-old Silk Road Lanzhou City is more poetic than poetry, with spring everywhere and tower shadows and buildings competing for attention; the 100-mile Yellow River Custom Line is picturesque, with bridges and scenery, and the sound of the river and the rhyme of the water are always pleasant. The Yellow River is the mother, and the Yellow River Basin is the cradle of the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation. The Yellow River Mother also gave birth to the ancient Jinlan County Lanzhou City where the Yellow River runs through the city. Lanzhou is the only provincial capital city in my country where the Yellow River runs through the city, so it has opened up a 100-mile north-south riverside road according to local conditions, and built a 40-kilometer Yellow River Custom Line along both sides of the Yellow River. It is known as the "Bund of Lanzhou" and is a business card for Lanzhou tourism. It is a must-see landmark attraction for foreign tourists to Lanzhou. The Yellow River Custom Line is the longest outdoor riverside park in China that integrates the Silk Road culture, the Yellow River culture, and the folk culture. However, it is difficult to walk through this 100-mile line. Generally, you can walk along the South Binhe East Road from Zhongshan Bridge to the Yellow River Mother Statue to visit the 1.9-kilometer Yellow River Custom Line. This route includes the Yellow River Mother Statue, Waterwheel Expo Park, Zhongshan Bridge, and Baitashan Park, which are almost all free attractions. This route of the Yellow River Scenic Line feels far from what I expected, as it is not well developed, and the Yellow River in Lanzhou does not have a majestic feeling, but the river water is really yellow. Walking along the riverside, it feels very pleasant to feel the wind blowing, and it can be done in half a day.
A must-visit place in Lanzhou. The entire city of Lanzhou is built on both sides of the Yellow River, thus creating the Yellow River Scenic Line.
The Yellow River is very yellow, but the water in Lanzhou is very turbulent. As an inland river, it has been flowing in the city and has become a mother river that people can often get close to.
It can be said that the main attractions in Lanzhou city are all here. From Zhongshan Bridge to the Yellow River Mother Statue, walking along the Yellow River, the whole journey is about three or four stops. People with good legs and feet can walk along the bank of the Yellow River. In addition to the scenic entertainment projects: sheepskin raft + speedboat, you can take a sheepskin raft to Zhongshan Bridge at the Mother River, and then change to a speedboat to return, which costs 80 yuan per person per trip. Or you can sit on the bank of the Yellow River and have a cup of Sanpaotai for an afternoon, which is still very good. However, the current planning of this tourist attraction that the Lanzhou government has focused on building is still relatively poor. First of all, as a tourist signboard of Lanzhou, the sanitation of the Yellow River is really not satisfactory.
A tourist attraction in Lanzhou, near Zhongshan Bridge, the first bridge of the Yellow River, there are sheepskin rafts, cruise ships, and speedboats. You can also take a walk along the bank of the Yellow River, a nice place. You can take a bus from the train station to Zhongshan Bridge Station.
If you pass by, you can get off the car and take a look. Search Hekou Hydropower Station on Baidu Maps. There is a bridge there. It is very beautiful.
I often hear the saying "You can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River", but only when you really stand by the Yellow River can you deeply understand this sentence. It is indeed very "yellow". Taking a slow walk along the Yellow River, I feel the magnificence of the Yellow River. My heart is still quite shocked. There are also many wild ducks playing on the lake, which is very interesting. They have to go upstream and then slide down along the water flow, and then fly up, over and over again.
Good for walking. Lots of locals. It's not hot. It's very comfortable to walk.

Going east along the Yellow River Scenic Line, there are many sculptures along the way. Across the Yellow River is Baita Mountain, and the bridge across the river in the distance is Zhongshan Bridge. You can see such teahouses along the way. People brew a pot of Sanpaotai on the bank of the Yellow River, eat melon seeds, and chat. Life is so comfortable.
When I see the Yellow River, I think of a saying: Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash yourself clean. Looking at this river, it is indeed impossible to wash yourself clean by jumping into it, it is all yellow mud and sand.
Sitting on a beach chair by the Yellow River, ordering a cup of eight-treasure tea, looking at the Yellow River and the scenery on both sides (our location is at a bend) is also a kind of enjoyment (15 yuan per person). In addition, there is an inconspicuous scenic spot next to this teahouse, which is the center point of all China. Here, I would like to appeal to the Lanzhou Municipal Government to make this scenic spot bigger and more famous, and make it another highlight on the Yellow River Scenic Line.
The willow trees in the Yellow River Scenic Belt are lush and prosperous. The willow trees in Gansu are as numerous as the sycamore trees in Wuhan and the kapok trees in Guangzhou. This just gives you the feeling of "breaking willow branches to say goodbye" as described by ancient poets.
Moreover, Lanzhou Yellow River Ferry is the first ferry in the world. Lanzhou is connected to Shaanxi in the east, Xinjiang and Qinghai in the west, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia in the north, Sichuan and Tibet in the south. It has been a transportation hub connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions since ancient times, and is an important ferry and tea-horse trade market on the ancient Silk Road. There was a saying that Lanzhou "sits in the middle and connects four regions".
There are sheepskin rafts on the riverside that you can try, as well as the famous Yellow River Mother Statue, the Tang Monk and his disciples' journey to the West sculpture, the Waterwheel Park, etc.
You can walk to the Yellow River from Ma Zilu Beef Noodle Restaurant. The color of the Yellow River water is really as yellow as its reputation. I have seen the Yellow River once near Jinan. The water flow of the Yellow River there is very slow. You can see the surging Yellow River water in Lanzhou, but the water quality should not be very good. I touched it and it left a smell. Trees are planted by the Yellow River, so it won't be too hot in summer. Walk along the mother river, look at the Baita Mountain Park opposite, and look at the green willows caressing the bank. Sheepskin rafts float on the river from time to time. This ancient means of transportation on the Yellow River has now become a tourist experience project.
The Yellow River Scenic Line is a scenic line built by the Lanzhou government at great expense. It is a must-see for tourists from other places. There is the famous Zhongshan Bridge, the first bridge over the Yellow River in the world, the Yellow River Mother Statue, and the Baita Mountain Park.
Apart from the Gansu Museum, what attracted me to Lanzhou's scenery was the Yellow River Scenic Line on both sides of Zhongshan Bridge and Baita Mountain, which was really nice.
I got to experience the legendary Yellow River Scenic Spots Line, which means I have seen the Yellow River. I will visit other places related to the Yellow River when I have time in the future.
The Yellow River runs through Lanzhou City. This is the best place to see the Yellow River, the mother river. You can take a boat. The Yellow River flows very fast and is great to watch.
It was spring when I went there, with lots of catkins floating around and many people flying kites by the river. It was a pleasant place.
Lanzhou is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. The Yellow River runs from west to east across the city, like a yellow ribbon, passing through the city. There are countless sceneries on both sides of the Yellow River, including the towering buildings, lush flowers and trees on the "Riverside Avenue", wild ducks flying up and down on the river beach, the theme sculpture of "Longyuan Park", the "Lotus Pond Night Moon" of "Little West Lake", the century-old iron bridge that has gone through vicissitudes, the White Pagoda overlooking the Yellow River, and the ancient sheepskin rafts stirring the Yellow River and the "Huaer" roar of the boatmen.
The Yellow River, as China's mother river, must be visited because it is a kind of complex.
Lanzhou is the only provincial capital city with the Yellow River running through it. Lanzhou people have utilized this resource and built the Yellow River Scenic Line according to local conditions. Starting from Yantan in Chengguan District in the east and ending at the west of Xigu District in the west, the north-south riverside road with a total length of more than 100 miles is currently the longest riverside road in the city in China. With Zhongshan Bridge as the central axis and the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River as the support, the riverside scenic area, which is built on the mountain and ingeniously crafted, is called "Lanzhou Bund" by guests from all over the country.
Lanzhou Yellow River Scenic Line is a unique urban Yellow River scenic line in China. You can stop at any time to enjoy the Yellow River scenery, drink Yellow River beer, taste green tea, play cards and chat along the way. The Waterwheel Park, Baita Mountain Scenic Area, the Yellow River Mother Statue, Zhongshan Bridge and other landscapes are concentrated on this line.
Lanzhou is a transit station on the way to Zhangye. I had a few extra hours so I went for a stroll along the Yellow River. There were quite a lot of people at Zhongshan Bridge at night.
There are two things I most want to experience in Lanzhou. One is Lanzhou ramen. I don’t like noodles, but it is indeed better than what I have eaten in other places. The second is rafting on a sheepskin raft, which is the most primitive means of transportation and is what I like.
The scenery is actually not that good, but it is different from other places.
Walking along the Yellow River alone while listening to music is another kind of scenery.
The core scenic area of Lanzhou City, starting from Yantan in Chengguan District in the east and ending at the west of Xigu District in the west, the north-south riverside road with a total length of more than 100 miles is currently the longest riverside road in the city. With Zhongshan Bridge as the central axis and the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River as the support, the riverside scenic area, which is built on the mountain and ingeniously crafted, is called "Lanzhou Bund" by guests from all over the country. The night view is very beautiful and worth a visit!
The scenery is OK, you can go and see it if you have time.
The Yellow River runs through Lanzhou. The two banks of the Yellow River are beautiful, with green trees and a strong cultural atmosphere. There are many parks and scenic spots, which are worth visiting. From August 9 to 11, 2016, my family traveled to Lanzhou for 3 days and visited the scenery here every day.
People who are used to seeing the West Lake and the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have a different feeling about the majestic Yellow River. Its turbidity is a kind of audible declaration. Although I have only been to Lanzhou for a short time, I love it just like the strongest chain in the country, Lanzhou Ramen.
I just drifted for a while, and then spent 20 yuan to buy a photo, hahaha, it was really drunk. Lanzhou beef noodles are really delicious, with dried tofu shreds
The scenery line is pretty good. Find a tea stall, enjoy the breeze, and drink a cup of local three-bubble tea. It's very pleasant.
It is still quite hot in Lanzhou in June, but it is quite pleasant to sit by the Yellow River in the evening and watch the sunset. The temperature is probably around 20 degrees, which is quite cool.
The weather in Lanzhou in August is pleasant. When you come to Lanzhou, you must walk along the banks of the Yellow River to feel the surging water of the Yellow River. Watching the Yellow River rushing forward can make you feel refreshed.
Can you clean up the garbage on the Yellow River? It smells bad and makes people not want to get close to it. The cruise ships are also in a state of chaos without management. There are touts everywhere asking if they want to take a boat.
A good place for leisure, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Yellow River crossing Lanzhou city. Many attractions are scattered along the way
There was nothing interesting at night, so I just looked at the Yellow River Bridge, which is a steel structure. I felt it shake when the cars passed by. The bridge I took pictures of at my place is not Yantan. This is the Yellow River Bridge. Because it is a highway, I sneaked up. Now I think it is a bit interesting and a bit pretentious. The cars on the highway are very fast. I didn’t know how I ran to the other side. Then it was interesting when I got off the highway. The toll collector looked at me, I looked at the toll collector and then I left. Thinking back now, I am so scared.
