You don't have to travel far to find poetry and the distant Liujiaxia Reservoir.

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?
