Liulin Yellow River Three Gorges

The Liulin Yellow River Three Gorges is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

The Yellow River Three Gorges Scenic Area in Liulin County, Lüliang City, Shanxi Province, boasts numerous attractions and features four distinctive themed travel routes: yellow, red, green, and ancient.

Among them, the yellow tourism route, centered on the Yellow River Three Gorges experience, is the core highlight. The Liulin Yellow River Three Gorges consist of the Great Yellow River Gorge, Longquan Stone Gorge, and Quchan Gorge, offering breathtaking views with waves racing through the clouds. The Quchan River and Longquan Spring converge into the Yellow River at the same section along opposite banks, forming a rare geographical phenomenon—a triple waterway junction resembling a cross. Nearby lies the world-famous First Yellow River Shoal—Tujin Shoal—where massive waves churn and turbulent waters surge, creating a spectacular sight. Surfing on a Yellow River speedboat is the biggest draw for visitors, and cruising along the Mother River is a dream for many. Riding a speedboat to surf through the Yellow River is both safe and thrilling. The surging waves, steep cliffs and peculiar rocks along the riverbanks, and the hearty mountain songs drifting down from the hills make you feel as if you're in a painting or a dream.

The yellow tourism route includes raft drifting, speedboat surfing on the Yellow River, admiring the river from a luxury vintage cruise boat, paying homage to the natural “Yellow River Mother Peak,” viewing the “Eagle Warning” and “Yellow River Heavenly Scriptures” rock formations, navigating the Yellow River Nine-Turn Array, experiencing Yellow River “wilderness battles,” taking part in Yellow River arena challenges, and crossing the river via cable car...
