Heading west from Xining and passing through the geopark, you’ll arrive in Guide. Along the way, you’ll see where the Yellow River converges, as if flowing from the horizon. In this stretch, the river is still green—hence the saying that under heaven, the Yellow River is clearest in Guide.
In late spring and early summer, as snow and ice upstream melt, the Yellow River swells, its waters surge with tremendous force, creating an extremely spectacular sight. In the season of blooming flowers and warm weather, the riverbanks are already shaded by lush trees, with towering stupas standing by, and the spring breeze gently blowing—it’s a perfect time for people to go on outings and have picnics.
