The magical 'Yuan Yang Pot' of nature, the Yellow River, was originally clear

In Yongjing County, Gansu Province, there is a magical viewing platform 4 kilometers from the urban area. Driving there or taking a taxi from the urban area costs about 20 yuan. The 3-kilometer winding mountain road has steep slopes, so drive carefully and pay attention to oncoming traffic. 📸 Yongjing County, Gansu Province, Liujiaxia ~ The Yellow River and Tao River converge here. The magical 'Yuan Yang Pot' of nature ☑️ I always thought the yellow one was the Yellow River and the green one was the Tao River, but the truth is that the green, rippling water is the Yellow River, while the yellow, muddy water from the Loess Plateau is the Tao River 😂 🌈 Scenic Features: The magic of nature, watching the Yellow River and Tao River converge here with 'distinct boundaries' where the rippling green water of the Yellow River turns yellow from this point on 😄 🎟️ Ticket Information: Parking fee 🅿️ 10 yuan, ticket 10 yuan (includes shoe covers) 🕐️ Scenic Area Opening Hours: 9:00—18:00, ticket sales stop at 17:30 💗 Other Tips: Near the Liujiaxia Dam in Yongjing County, the Yellow River and Tao River converge in a 'Y' shape in front of Longhui Mountain. They lightly collide, one clear and one turbid, one blue and one yellow, forming a 'distinct boundary' line, which is the famous 'Yellow and Tao River Confluence' wonder. 'Yellow River comes from the west, breaking through Kunlun,' the Yellow River described by Li Bai, with its turbulent muddy waves carrying silt from the heavens, is how many people understand the Yellow River. But in reality, the yellow one on the left is the Tao River, and the blue one on the right is the Yellow River. The Yellow River flows down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with high vegetation coverage in the upper reaches, resulting in relatively weak soil erosion. In this water area, the Yellow River is calm and clear blue. When it flows through the Loess Plateau, the Yellow River carries a large amount of silt, becoming turbid and turbulent, showing different colors from the upper reaches. The Tao River is an important tributary of the Yellow River system, flowing through counties such as Luqu, Lintan, Zhuoni, Minxian, and Lintao in Gansu Province. The Tao River flows through the western edge of the Loess Plateau, carrying a large amount of silt, so when the Tao River converges with the Yellow River, the magical scene of 'Yellow River clear, Tao River yellow' appears.
