Huanghe Grand Canyon.

Leaving Longyu Winery for Qingtongxia, 90 kilometers away on the highway, an hour's drive. Purchase tickets online, take an electric car for a while, get off and walk to see the dam of the Qingtongxia Water Hub. Construction of the Qingtongxia Dam began in 1958, an era of miracles. Despite the lack of technology and production equipment, the people's enthusiasm for construction as masters of their own destiny created a miracle of both progress and quality. The Yellow River, which had been unruly for thousands of years, finally irrigated the fields and generated hydroelectric power according to the people's wishes. After crossing the dam and Happiness Bridge, you will arrive at the cruise ship pier. Leave the shore and take a cruise on the magnificent Yellow River. The ship sails south, with the Helan Mountains to the west on the right and the Niushou Mountains to the east on the left. The yellow waves splash, and the cool wind blows. At first, the mountains on both sides are bare and yellow-brown, but as you go further and further, there is gradually more green. There is a pattern formed by the natural weathering of the mountains on the right side of the ship. The captain said it looked like something, but I couldn't see it with my naked eye. But when there was no introduction, I thought it looked like the head of an Egyptian pharaoh. At the end of the ship's journey is the southernmost end of the Helan Mountains, which stretch for more than 200 kilometers and end here. Turn around and return to the Dayu Cultural Park and get off the ship again for a visit. Walk up the steps, pass the archway, the drum tower on the left, and the bell tower on the right. Further ahead is the Mingtang, where six giant drums are displayed, which are deafening when played. Further ahead is the main hall, with a giant gilded bronze statue of Dayu in the center. After paying respects, enter from the left gate and begin the tour. An hour later, board the ship again and disembark at the 108 Towers. The 108 Towers are not explained, and it is not clear what they are or what they mean even after climbing to the highest point. Then take a car down, walk across the iron bridge and walk to the parking lot to leave.
