Yellow River Emergency Rescue Monument in Gaocun Location: Gaocun, Caiyuanji Township Introduction: In February 1946, amid war and flooding, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission of the liberated areas of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan was established in Heze, Shandong. The newly formed people’s river management authority, facing gunfire and smoke, embarked on the grand mission of repairing flood prevention projects and resisting the Yellow River floods. In 1948, during the second major flood season since the Yellow River returned to its original course, the people’s river management endeavor was tested and tempered through the great emergency rescue at Gaocun. Today, the “Yellow River Gaocun Emergency Rescue Monument,” standing tall at the Gaocun critical section, seems to silently recount the heroic scene of 58 years ago when river rescue workers and the people of 12 counties including Dongming braved gunfire to fight the flood.

In the fifth year of the Daye era of the Sui Dynasty (609 AD), Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui once entered Qinghai from this area. In the past, crossing to the other side relied on sheepskin rafts.
