The First Bend of the Yellow River in Shanxi | The Long Song of Laoniuwan

| The Long Song of Laoniuwan 📍Address: Laoniuwan, Xinzhou, Shanxi Province The Yellow River enters Shanxi here, where it meets the Great Wall, and the Jin-Shaanxi-Mongolia Grand Canyon unfolds in a majestic scene. Laoniuwan, an ancient village on the banks of the Yellow River, is like a silent guardian, witnessing the vicissitudes of time. The ancient castle of Laoniuwan is built on the mountain, with mottled stone walls. Each stone carries the memory of history, as if telling the story of past wars and bustling trade. Walking into the ancient castle, the narrow alleys are winding and tortuous, as if you can see the busy figures of the former residents shuttling here. The ancient cave dwellings are scattered on the hillside, and the exquisite paper-cutting on the windows is a simple expression of the villagers' good life. In Laoniuwan, you must take a boat tour of the Yellow River. When the boat slowly leaves the dock, the Yellow River flows under your feet, and the turbid and powerful river makes you feel the grandeur and greatness of nature. The river is sparkling, and the mountains on both sides are steep and dangerous, some of which are as straight as a knife and axe, and some are winding and undulating, like a giant dragon. Walking along the banks of the Yellow River, you can also see many peculiar geological landscapes. The rocks on the riverbank have been washed by the Yellow River for years, forming various shapes, some like galloping horses, some like monkeys watching the sea, making people marvel at the magic of nature. When the sun sets, the whole Laoniuwan is dyed golden. The Yellow River shines with golden light in the afterglow, like a flowing picture. At this time, find a quiet corner, quietly enjoy this beautiful scenery, feel the passage of time, and your heart will become extremely calm.
