The Yellow River resembles a golden dragon, rushing unceasingly through Central China. For thousands of years, she has cultivated Chinese culture and embodied the spirit and power of Chinese descendants. Travelling along the Yellow River, one not only can appreciate its majestic momentum but also savor the picturesque lake scenery and unique landscape along the river. In addition, tourists can take in numerous scenic spots and historical sites along the way, observe the unique local folk custom, and explore the origins of the Chinese nation.

The Yellow River runs thousands of miles across nine provinces, but no city is closer to it than Sanmenxia. One can’t miss the Yellow River and Sanmenxia Dam when visiting the city. There would be no dam if it weren’t for the river, and no city without the dam.
