Hohhot means "Green City" in Mongolian. It got its name because it was built with green bricks and tiles on the vast green grasslands, with green mountains as its screen. This "Green City beyond the Great Wall," founded during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty (1572), is now the capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a city rich in heritage, where natural scenery and cultural landscapes shine together. As soon as you step into Hohhot, the folk song "Chilun River, under the Yinshan Mountains... the wind blows the grass low to reveal cattle and sheep" will linger in your mind, and the imagery will instantly fill your senses.

Laoniuwan, also known as Laoniuwan Yellow River Grand Canyon, is located at the border of Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, with the Yellow River as the boundary. The southern side belongs to Pianguan County, Xinzhou, Shanxi, and the northern side is Qingshuihe County, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. It is the place where the Yellow River and the Great Wall 'shake hands.' The Inner Mongolia side is part of the Laoniuwan Yellow River Grand Canyon Scenic Area, known as 'China's most beautiful canyon,' while the Shanxi side is the Pianguan Laoniuwan Scenic Area, both being national 4A-level scenic spots. Although the two scenic areas face each other across the river, driving to the opposite side requires a detour of more than 20 kilometers. Laoniuwan has a unique geographical environment. The Yellow River flows vertically south through Laoniuwan, making a peculiar big turn in the middle and lower parts of the Jinshan Grand Canyon, blocked by the Lüliang Mountains. This bend is called 'the first bend of the Yellow River in the world.' According to legend, when Taishang Laojun was plowing the fields and opening the river with his divine ox, the opposite Mingdeng Mountain shone brightly, startling the ox, which plowed out a curved land, hence the name Laoniuwan. This time, on the way back to Beijing from Ordos, I happened to pass by Laoniuwan. Since the Laoniuwan Scenic Area on the Shanxi Pianguan side was temporarily closed, I went to the Laoniuwan Yellow River Grand Canyon Scenic Area on the Inner Mongolia side. Before coming here, I had heard debates about which side offers a better view of Laoniuwan. After visiting in person, I can tell you that the view from the Inner Mongolia side is better for seeing the bay, while the Shanxi side offers a more historical perspective with the ancient Great Wall. Each has its own merits. Of course, if you bring a drone, both sides are equally good!

Yao Gou Township is located in the middle section of the Jin-Shaan Grand Canyon in the southwestern part of Qingshui River County, facing Xuejiawan Town of Zhungeer Banner across the Yellow River.

Yao Gou Township, relying on its unique natural resources and historical remains, fully excavates cultural elements such as the Yellow River and ceramics, empowering the tourism industry.

The township collects porcelain fired in the near modern era from all the villagers, displays them in the renovated ancient Hui Fang, accompanied by models of stone wheel discs used for making clay blanks and a brief introduction to the history of Qingshui River ceramic firing, presenting a miniature porcelain museum to the world. Everything is travelable, and beauty is everywhere.
