Maybe you have seen many mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and experienced different beautiful scenery But Liujia Gorge has the heroic spirit of the northwest and the graceful beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, with a bit more heroism, a bit more purity in the beauty, and a bit more magnanimity in the tranquility. Spring outing, boat trip, picking, climbing I hope you will have a happy journey in Liujiaxia this spring. 1. The magnificent dam Liujiaxia Reservoir is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau". The reservoir is located in a plateau canyon. The Yellow River makes a sharp 90-degree turn here and flows westward through the canyon. The majestic Liujiaxia Dam comes into view. The dam cuts off the Yellow River in the middle where it flows westward, just like the gate of heaven locked between cliffs. It is truly a one-man-guard-the-pass that ten thousand men cannot open. The Yellow River, with its unique "S" shape, gave birth to the "Waterside" in western China. "High gorges and flat lakes" and "water and sky are one color", the clear water of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau meets the turbid current of the Loess Plateau. Only then does it become the Yellow River in the true sense. The Yellow River water, which is "one bowl of water and half bowl of sand", will show its prowess in the next nearly 3,000-kilometer journey. 2. Landmark check-in point: Liujiaxia Bridge Liujiaxia Bridge, the largest suspension bridge in Northwest China, spans the waters with a magnificent momentum. From the viewing platform beside the bridge, you can see the blue sky, white clouds, and clear water. Speedboats sometimes pass by, leaving a long trail of water. The nearby mountains and plateaus stretch into the reservoir like a "dragon's claws". The emerald green water and the ochre-colored Danxia complement each other. 3. Take a cruise Blowing the wind on the rippling river In the spring, as the temperature continues to rise, the Liujiaxia Yellow River Wetland is full of spring and scenery, with blue waves and sparkling water. Occasionally, a boat would quietly pass by on the glittering water, leaving behind a long water line. The yellow cruise ship blew across the sparkling river with the sound of its whistle. Who would have thought that the Yellow River, which is famous for its turbid yellow water, is a beautiful blue-green here?

Liujiaxia, one of the three gorges on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, is located in Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province. Liujiaxia Reservoir is a large-scale hydroelectric project designed, constructed and built by China during the first five-year plan. Due to its location on the plateau, the landscape is particularly unique. There are many stunning high-canyon lake views around Liujiaxia Reservoir, such as the Bingling Temple World Cultural Heritage Tourist Area in Yongjing County. Next, we will introduce three more niche treasure locations, all located in Dongxiang Autonomous County, Linxia Prefecture. Location 1: Sanyuan Viewing Platform The viewing platform with a full score recommendation, from where you can overlook Liujiaxia Reservoir and Liujiaxia Bridge. The magnificent bridge spans the magnificent canyon, and the Yellow River here is azure.

Location 2: Benzigou Viewing Platform This viewing platform faces the Sanyuan Viewing Platform across Liujiaxia Bridge.

In the 1970s, high school geography taught us about three major hydroelectric hubs on the upper reaches of the Yellow River: Lijiaxia, Liujiaxia, and Qingtongxia, with Liujiaxia being the most important. This time, visiting here indeed proved to be extraordinary. Although the dam is not large, the reservoir area is quite vast, extending over a hundred kilometers. The clear and turbid waters at the confluence of the Tao and Yellow Rivers, and the Danxia landforms at Bingling Temple Grottoes, are truly eye-opening.

❤Reason for recommendation: Don't miss the Benz Gully viewing platform in Dongxiang when visiting the Liujiaxia Reservoir. From here, you can overlook the Liujiaxia Reservoir, the Liujiaxia Bridge, and the brown mountains surrounding the green water. Magnificent!
