The "Yellow River No.1" tourist highway runs through Xinzhou, Lvliang, Linfen and Yuncheng, and will connect 14 A-level and above scenic spots.

Next, I would like to introduce some interesting scenic spots along the Yellow River in Shanxi.

1. Pianguan Laoniuwan

The place where the Great Wall shakes hands with the Yellow River is one of the top ten most beautiful canyons in China.

Second, Wanjiazhai

Wanjiazhai Water Control Project is the starting point of Shanxi Province's Yellow River Diversion Project. Since the completion of the dam, the high gorge has flowed out of Pinghu, and the rushing Yellow River has been gentle and smooth, and the level is like a mirror. It has become a water conservancy scenic spot while taking into account power generation and diverting water from the Yellow River.

3. Niangniangtan

Located in the Yellow River in the north of Hequ County, with an area of nearly 13 hectares, it is the only inhabited island in the Yellow River.

is located in Hequ County, the land of the three provinces of Jiming. The ancestral home of Yang Jiajiang in Song Dynasty.

v. qikou town

is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Lushui River in Linxian County, Shanxi Province. In the past, when the traffic was backward, the Yellow River waterway above Qikou was the economic artery connecting the logistics of northwest and north China, and Qikou rapids became the terminal point of the golden waterway. At this point, cargo ships had to break down and unload their cargo, so merchants gathered, and finally Qikou became the first town of the Yellow River in Jiuqu. Now it is a paradise for artists and photographers.

Sixth, Liulin Yellow River Mother Scenic Area

Liulin Yellow River Mother Scenic Area, it is said that Dayu was in distress when he was managing water in Mengmen near Sanjiao Town. In order to save her husband, Dayu's wife flew to block the falling boulder. Dayu was saved, but Dayu's wife turned into a mountain. Later, in order to commemorate her, people honored the mountain where Empress Yu Wang sat as "Mother Peak of the Yellow River".

around the scenic spot, there are also red sites such as the Red Army's crusade ferry, the Red Army's crusade memorial hall, Zhou Enlai's former residence, Mao Zemin's grain collection office, and General Liu Zhidan's martyrdom memorial pavilion.

seven, the first bay of the Yellow River in the world

There are ninety-nine bends in the Yellow River in the world, and the most strange and beautiful Shilou Bay. Shilou Bay is located in Majiapan Village, Xinguan Town, shilou county, where the Yellow River draws a beautiful arc and is known as the "First Bay of the Yellow River".

VIII. Hukou Waterfall

Located in Jixian County, Linfen City, I don't want to introduce Hukou Waterfall much, because it is so famous. The pattern behind the fourth edition of RMB 51 yuan in China is Hukou Waterfall.

First of all, answer the question raised by the Lord back and forth. Where did the Yellow River pass through Shanxi? From the map, the Yellow River enters Shanxi and flows through four prefecture-level cities: Xinzhou, Lvliang, Linfen and Yuncheng. Specifically, it includes 19 counties (cities) such as Hequ, Baode, Xingxian, Shilou, Yonghe, Jixian and Wanrong.

Next, I'd like to introduce some beautiful places of the Yellow River in Shanxi. Friends who want to see and enjoy the Yellow River in Shanxi may wish to go to these places. Personally, the most recommended scenic spots and scenic spots are Laoniu Bay in Pianguan County, the first town of Jiuqu Yellow River in Linxian County, Gankun Bay in National Geopark, the spectacular Hukou Waterfall in Jixian County, and the Pujin Ferry site where the "Kaiyuan Iron Bull" was unearthed.

in recent years, Shanxi has made great efforts to develop the tourism industry, and proposed to build three major tourism sectors: Yellow River, Great Wall and Taihang Mountain. Friends who are interested in the beauty and culture of the Yellow River, take some time to visit these tourist attractions along the Yellow River in Shanxi and see the magnificent weather of the mother river of the Chinese nation.

First of all, the Yellow River has never actually flowed into Shanxi, but has been flowing along the boundary of Shanxi, which serves as the dividing line between Shanxi, Mongolia, Shanxi and Henan.

The Yellow River enters Shanxi in Pianguan County of Xinzhou City, then flows through Hequ County, Baode County, Xingxian County, Linxian County, Liulin County, shilou county County, Yonghe County, Daning County, Jixian County, Hejin City, Wanrong County, Linyi County, yongji city County, Ruicheng County and Pinglu County, and then leaves Shanxi in Yuanqu County of Yuncheng City.

The section from Hekou Town, Inner Mongolia to Yumenkou, Shanxi Province is the longest continuous canyon on the main stream of the Yellow River-the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon. And almost the beauty of the Yellow River along Shanxi is in this magnificent and peculiar Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon.

here are some famous scenic spots along the Yellow River in Shanxi.

1. Laoniuwan

Laoniuwan is located at the junction of Shanxi and Mongolia, bounded by the Yellow River, with Pianguan County in Shanxi in the south, Qingshuihe County in Inner Mongolia in the north bank and Zhungeer Banner in Ordos Plateau in the west. It is a place where three cities crow. The Yellow River enters Shanxi from here, the Great Wall inside and outside meets here, the Great Wall and the Yellow River shake hands here, and the Grand Canyon of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia starts here, where the vicissitudes of the loess plateau in China are highlighted.

The meandering Yellow River flows from Zhungeer Banner in Inner Mongolia and turns a big bend to the southeast. The local people describe this bend as like an old cow, so it is called Laoniuwan. At the same time, because the towering and tall Manhan Mountain forms a steep Yellow River Canyon here, a section of the Ming Great Wall on the winding cliff here suddenly stops here and does not "cross" the Yellow River, which is also called "the place where the Great Wall shakes hands with the Yellow River".

There are two Laoniuwan villages, which are located in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi respectively. You can directly reach Laoniuwan village in Shanxi by boat from Laoniuwan Square in Inner Mongolia. The Laoniuwan scenic spot on the side of Inner Mongolia is located in Qingshuihe County, Hohhot, which is recognized by photographers as the best place to take pictures of Laoniuwan. Shanxi Laoniuwan, located in Pianguan County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, is the first bay where the Yellow River enters Shanxi Province. There is an ancient village of Laoniuwan, and the image of the vicissitudes of cave dwellings outlines the living conditions of the people of Laoniuwan in ancient times. Laoniuwan Fort, a military fortress along the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, is also located here, and there is also the Wanghe Tower standing on the cliff, which not only has beautiful scenery, but also has profound cultural heritage.

2. qikou town

qikou town, located in Linxian County, Shanxi Province, is an ancient ferry crossing in Linxian County, Shanxi Province.

Qikou Town is located at the intersection of the Suishui River and the Yellow River. The Suishui River brought a lot of sediment, which occupied the Yellow River waterway, causing the riverbed of the Yellow River to shrink from 411 meters to 81 meters at Qikou. The turbid Yellow River water is like an angry lion. There is a saying that "the Yellow River sails, and the moraine turns pale". Therefore, people can only park in Qikou and turn to dry roads. Qikou town has also become a major commercial town in the north by virtue of the Yellow River water transport, enjoying the reputation of "the first town of the Yellow River in Jiuqu" and being one of the birthplaces of Shanxi merchants.

3. Hukou Waterfall

Hukou Waterfall, which borders Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province in the west and Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province in the east, is a tourist attraction in the two provinces. Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. Together with Detian Waterfall on the Sino-Vietnamese border and Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province, they are the three major waterfalls in China.

The Yellow River flows here, with steep stone walls on both sides and narrow estuaries, hence the name Hukou Waterfall. The water surface of the Yellow River in the upper reaches of the waterfall is 311 meters wide. In a long distance of less than 511 meters, the width of the river surface is compressed to 21-31 meters, and it pours down from a steep cliff more than 21 meters high, forming the spirit of "a pot of harvest for a thousand miles of the Yellow River".

In the dead of winter, the water surface of the Yellow River around Hukou is frozen, and the ice layer in some areas is thick, forming a natural bridge connecting the two banks, which is called the Yellow River Ice Bridge.

4. Gankun Bay Scenic Area

Yonghe Gankun Bay is located in the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon between Yonghe County, Shanxi Province and Yanchuan County, Shaanxi Province. The Yellow River has flowed for 1.6 million years, entering Yonghe from Qianbeitou Bay in Nanzhuang Township, and flowing out of Yonghe from Caicai Bay in Jiaokou Township, winding for 68 kilometers, forming Hero Bay, Yonghe Guanwan, Guojiashan Bay and Hehuili Bay from north to south. In Yonghe, there is a saying that the ninety-nine bends of the Yellow River are the most beautiful ones than Gankun Bay.

5. The stork tower, the Yellow River Iron Bull

The stork tower is spectacular in structure and ingenious in structure. In addition, it has geographical advantages and beautiful scenery. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, scholars climbed the building to enjoy the scenery, leaving many immortal poems. Among them, Wang Zhihuan's poem "mountains cover the white sun, and oceans drain the golden river; But you widen your view three hundred miles, by going up one flight of stairs "can be called the eternal swan song. Poetry is written by the building, and the building is based on the name of the poem.

kaiyuan iron ox, also known as the Tang dynasty iron ox, is located on the banks of Pujin Ferry, a famous ferry on the ancient Yellow River west of Puzhou ancient city in yongji city, with four statues each. It was cast in the Kaiyuan period of Tang Dynasty to stabilize Pujin pontoon bridge and maintain the traffic in Qin Jin. When the bridge was destroyed at the end of Yuan Dynasty, it was not used for a long time, so it was called "Town River Iron Bull". Later, due to the change of the Yellow River, it was gradually buried by sediment. Later, it was excavated on the site of Pujin Ferry.

6. Longmen Ancient Crossing

Longmen is the throat of the Yellow River, located at the exit of the Yellow River Canyon where Hejin City in Shanxi Province and hancheng city City in Shaanxi Province meet. The Yellow River runs from north to south, and the river rushes down along the canyon. The east and west mountains sandwich the river, and the cliffs stand opposite each other in the shape of a door. According to legend, every year in the third month of the lunar calendar, thousands of carp from rivers, lakes, seas and rivers swim against the current, leap forward and climb the river gate, and those who jump can turn into dragons. People call the place where carp jump "Longmen". Legend has it that this is the place where Dayu controls water, so it is also called Yumen.

7. fenglingdu, fenglingdu

is located at the southwest end of Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province, and is adjacent to Henan and Shaanxi provinces. Fenglingdu is at the corner where the Yellow River turns eastward. It is the traffic fortress of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, and it spans the boundaries of North China, Northwest China and Central China. It has been the largest ferry on the Yellow River since ancient times. It is also the place where Guo Xiang, written by Jin Yong, "fenglingdu met at first sight, and Yang Guo missed his life at first sight".

The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and the mother river of Shanxi people. It passes through 4 cities and 19 counties (cities) in Shanxi, adding magnificent beauty and a long history of culture to the land of Sanjin.

Shanxi Yellow River Plate has distinctive cultural characteristics, is the core area of ancient civilization in the Yellow River Basin, the source and root of Chinese civilization, and embodies the essence of Chinese spirit. Shanxi Yellow River starts from Pianguan County and ends in Yuanqu County, which basically covers the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The main area includes four cities including Xinzhou, Lvliang, Linfen and Yuncheng, and 19 counties and cities along the Yellow River. The associated area includes Lvliang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain outside the main area.

The Yellow River, which flows downstream from the towering northwest to the gentle southeast, has nurtured and written a magnificent chapter of human history and Chinese civilization, leaving behind an ancient Yellow River civilization and a unique beauty along the route. Every time I witnessed it, it was so shocking. This summer, walk along the Yellow River, feel the majestic atmosphere, gain a cool experience and appreciate the unique culture.

Wonderful recommendation

Laoniuwan-the Great Wall of the Yellow River shakes hands here

The Great Wall and the Yellow River meet in Laoniuwan, which is magnificent and beautiful.

The Great Wall is a great miracle in the military history of mankind. It is like a giant dragon winding in the vast mountains and rivers in northern China. The Yellow River is the birthplace of Chinese culture and is known as the cradle and mother river of the Chinese nation. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the Yellow River and the Great Wall, two ancient civilizations, shook hands here, adding mystery to Laoniu Bay.

Laoniuwan is the first stop where the Yellow River flows into Shanxi. It has the reputation of the Yellow River entering the first village in Shanxi, the first pier of the Great Wall in the world, and singing a rooster to hear three counties. The water of the Yellow River flows out of the Hetao and flows through the deep mountain canyon at this corner, and the ancient Great Wall meanders eastward. The castles, ancient crossings, ancient plank roads, ancient temples and ancient villages here are amazing.

With the Yellow River Diversion Project and the construction of Wanjiazhai Hydropower Station, Laoniuwan has become a high gorge Pinghu. Diversion irrigation, planting flowers and raising fish and developing tourism. Nowadays, Laoniuwan has become a place for leisure, vacation, health preservation and experience of nature.

When I came to Laoniuwan, the most
