Three Gorges of the Yellow River

　　The Three Gorges of the Yellow River scenic area is situated in Jiyuan City, Henan Province, with a total area of about 40 square kilometers. It is a UNESCO Global Geopark, a National AAAA-level tourist attraction, a National Water Conservancy Scenic Area, one of China’s most attractive destinations, one of Henan’s Top Ten Hot Spots, and one of the Four Great Summer Resorts in the Central Plains.

　　Known as the “First Gorge of the Mighty Yellow River,” the Three Gorges of the Yellow River combines the gentle beauty and elegance of southern landscapes with the rugged grandeur and masculinity of northern scenery. The three gorges each have their own unique charm: the Gushan Gorge boasts miraculous rock formations and picturesque peaks; the Longfeng Gorge features winding waterways and deep, serene valleys; and the Balixia Gorge is characterized by steep cliffs and a majestic atmosphere. The area offers not only high gorges with placid lakes, crisscrossing bays, numerous towering peaks, and many caves and niches, but also a wealth of cultural heritage including the Yellow River culture of “Gunshan Yu Fu” (the mythic figures Gun and Yu), the beautiful legend of “Jingniang Turning into a Phoenix,” the prayer culture of “Fairyland on Earth,” and the geomantic treasure land of “Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon.” Renowned as the “Royal Landscape of the Three Gorges of the Yellow River,” it is acclaimed as “the highest gorge-lake landscape in the Central Plains and a rare riverine bonsai masterpiece in China.”

　　The scenic area lies at the hub of key routes connecting the national-level scenic areas of Wangwushan and Xiaogouping, as well as the Xiaolangdi Tourist Line. With convenient transportation and well-developed facilities, it serves as an excellent destination for sightseeing and leisure vacations. The area provides both water and land transport options, along with excellent service amenities. The site features the Three Gorges Hotel (quasi-three-star) and Three Gorges Restaurant, capable of accommodating 300 guests and serving 500 diners simultaneously.
