The
Yellow River is believed to be the source of everything for China . The Yellow River is also called "the cradle of Chinese
civilization" the spiritual home of the Chinese people.. The Yellow River
basin—specifically, the Wei River Valley that cuts across the south
of the long Ordos Loop—was the birthplace of ancient Chinese
civilizations. It was the most prosperous region in early Chinese history. It
is the waters of the river and its spirit that nurture the whole Chinese
nation. For thousands of years, this river has been admiring by
literary giants, artists, as well as by the common people. But for frequent
devastating floods, largely due to the elevated river bed in its lower course,
has also earned it the unenviable name "China 's Sorrow". Rich cultural
relics, history and gorgeous natural sceneries make the Yellow
River a fine place to visit. Along the river, there are dozens of
worthwhile attractions. They are stretching arms and waiting for your visiting!
In Tibet the Yellow River is known as "River of the Peacock.
