Monument of the Yellow River Source (Maqin County)

The Niutou Monument is about 90 kilometers away from Maqin County, with the last forty kilometers being unpaved roads. The total driving time is roughly two and a half hours. Although bumpy, it's all worth it when you stand on the summit of Mount Cuori Gaze, leaning against the Niutou Monument and overlooking Eling Lake The dirt road up the mountain is quite winding, with nine turns and eighteen bends, as specifically shown in Figure 7 navigation image. Fortunately, the slope of the mountain is gentle, so it's not too difficult if you're careful. Standing next to this rough, resolute, and majestic monument, you can feel the thrill and happiness of touching the source of our mother river. Overlooking the outrageously beautiful Eling Lake, the weather after the rain clears up, under the contrast of the blue sky and white clouds, the lake reflects a dazzling array of colors due to different depths and other reasons, under the sunlight, making it endlessly fascinating and longing To see Zhaling Lake, you need to cross over three or four more hills on the other side, but you can only see a corner of it. How much further you need to go to see the whole picture, I do not know During the trip, I also saw a lama walking on the mountaintop, exuding a sense of solemnity, devotion, and vastness; not far away on the hillside, a Tibetan woman sat casually on the ground, letting the breeze mixed with raindrops blow freely, quite comfortable The entire area of the two lakes and one monument is part of the Yellow River Park of the Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve. Due to ecological protection considerations, it is not open to the public and lacks any tourist facilities, preserving its pristine state. We were able to enter because of work reasons. The scenery is indeed stunningly beautiful, no wonder the uninhabited areas are so attractive, after all, the more remote and poorer the place, the more beautiful the scenery However, the inconvenience of transportation, serious altitude sickness, and lack of supporting facilities are also quite troublesome. It's better to leave this pure land in peace.
