Come admire the Tree of the Earth in Gansu

Recently, a spectacular "Tree of the Earth" phenomenon has appeared around the Liujiaxia Reservoir in Yongjing County, Gansu. Due to the unique terrain and water flow erosion of the Yellow River, a pattern resembling a large tree has formed. Viewed from the air, it looks vivid and lifelike, as if a natural painting "planted" by the Mother River of the Yellow River. Liujiaxia Reservoir, located in a highland canyon, is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau" with magnificent scenery. Here, you can not only see the unique "Tree of the Earth" landscape but also enjoy a variety of recreational experiences. To the east of Xiangyang Pier lies the "Ten-Mile Willow Forest," where white sand and green willows make you feel as if you have returned to nature, wandering in a painting. The Liujiaxia Hydropower Station, China's first million-kilowatt hydropower station, integrates multiple functions. Visitors can take yachts upstream along the Yellow River to experience the grandeur of towering peaks facing each other and the seamless blend of water and sky. The Bingling Temple Grottoes have a long history, with many existing niches, rich stone carvings, clay sculptures, and murals, all of great artistic value. Come to Liujiaxia, Gansu, check in at the "Tree of the Earth," feel the unique charm of the Pearl of the Plateau, and experience the dual shock of history and nature!
