Bronze Gorge Grand Canyon

　　The Yellow River Bronze Gorge Grand Canyon is situated in the central part of the Ningxia Plain and is the last canyon on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, spanning around ten kilometers. The gorge features towering mountains and deep waters, with steep cliffs on both banks. Legend has it that when Yu the Great came to tame the floods, he split the mountain to form the canyon, allowing the Yellow River to surge forward mightily. At that time, the sun was setting, and the glow of the sunset intermingled with the river waters on the cliffs, creating a coppery hue—hence the name "Bronze Gorge."
