The Yellow River Scenic Area is located 30 km to the northwest of the Zhengzhou City with the Yellow River running on the north and Mountain Yueshan standing on the south. With green trees, pavilions, winding rivers and pretty hills, it enjoys a fame of beautiful view.
The Yellow River rushes out of the last gorge from here and into the plain areas and later turns into a river with its bed higher than the ground outside the banks. Therefore, watching the Yellow River here is very special. Pavilions of classic style scatter in an artistic way on mountain ridges of the Wulong Peak Scenic Area, the center of the Yellow River Scenic Area, which lies southward. At the foot of the Wulong Peak, a sculpture of an elegant lady holding a baby with kindness and peace, named “Nurturing”, embodies that the Yellow River functions as the cradle of the Chinese civilization. Other resorts are the Yueshan Temple, the Camel Hill, the memorial spot of two kings (Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty and his rival at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu), the Stone Sculpture of Emperor Yandi and Emperor Huangdi, etc. |
