Route for Custom along the Yellow River

Experiencing the Custom of Loess Land along the Yellow River

Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, rushes down and roars all the way, covering thousands of miles from north to south in Shanxi Province, presenting the most representative natural landscape, nurturing the humanistic spirit of the Yellow River with the strongest national soul, and forming the uniquely charming folk customs. Shanxi’s “Yellow River Culture” is based on its profound historical background, with “Custom in Loess Plateau” and “Landscape in Loess Plateau” as its core, and with the “rough and bold, primitive and simple, stubborn and unyielding” spirits as its connotation. It features folk culture with strong, epic and unique regional characteristics. From folk songs, music, dance, paper-cut, dough sculpture to profound drum music, they all emit the fragrance of the loess land and Yellow River Culture, like a singularly wonderful flower in Chinese culture.
Walking along the bank of the Yellow River at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the magnificent Hukou Waterfall, the ancient ferry and the ancient town are all interpreting the culture of the Yellow River. Fenghou, Emperor Yu, Yellow Iron Bull, wonderful bays and Qiankun Bend take us back to history; Wanjiazhai Water Conservancy Facilities, Dayudu Power Irrigation Station and Xiaolangdi Reservoir inspire our wisdom. Welcome to Yellow River!
