Where is the first bay of the Yellow River in Maqu?

As a travel enthusiast, maybe you don’t know Maqu, but you should have heard of a scenic spot in Maqu. The Yellow River flows eastward from Bayan Har Mountain in Maqu County. A 433km long "Nine-bending Yellow River's First Bend" is formed. Here, you can see the source of the Yellow River, standing on a high place and looking down, with a panoramic view. This place must be climbed up or taken aerial photos, but you can't feel its momentum when you are in it. In addition, it is more beautiful at sunrise in the early morning or at sunset.

There is no majestic momentum here. The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea and never returns. It just lies quietly between the sky and the earth in an eternal posture, sitting high on the grassland. Watch the sunset over the Yellow River and quietly merge into the realm of unity between heaven, earth and man. I don’t know if there will be a sunset today, because the changeable plateau weather is creating a sunrise in the east and rain in the west. I rushed all the way to the observation deck on the escalator. The third-floor platform was already so densely packed with people that I couldn't find any space to squeeze in.

The ticket office for the First Bend of the Nine Bends of the Yellow River is built far, far away from the observation deck. You have to drive in for a while, and the ticket inspection is also very strict. I encountered at least three people on the road. Checkpoints. The observation deck is built on the top of a mountain that does not look high but is actually very difficult to climb. There is a sightseeing elevator that you can ride on. You need to buy it together with the ticket at the ticket office. The joint ticket is cheaper than buying it separately. The sightseeing elevator is one-way with 15 steps. To go down, you can take the walking ladder next to the escalator or the wooden plank road on the other side.

The scenery on the observation deck is quite shocking, but there are also relatively many people. When I came down, I took the observation boardwalk. I walked slowly and enjoyed the scenery along the way. There is a Suokezang Temple at the foot of the hillside where the observation deck is located. It is not small in scale. If you have enough time, you can visit it. Those who want to watch the sunrise can also stay nearby. In fact, if conditions permit, camping may be a better choice. Set up a tent next to the winding river, follow the sunset and sunrise, accompany the Yellow River, and feel the vastness of the world.

Maybe you think you can’t see the bay from the bay, but when you see the original appearance of the mother river that nurtures our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, you still feel majestic and majestic. Many people thought it was a fake Yellow River at first, but later they realized it was this. It was really a joke. This is the largest wetland grassland on the first bend of the Yellow River. Climbing to a high place, you can see the setting sun lighting up the meandering stream of the Yellow River like a ribbon.

The grassland here is colorful, and the green grass is full of small flowers of various colors. Even in autumn, everything is golden. The clear Yellow River meanders in the Norgai Grassland, turning countless bends in front of us. After meeting the mountains at our feet, it turns away gracefully. Every bend in the wetland is particularly full, and it feels like the motherland has abundant food and clothing.

On a shallow beach, unknown plants were dyed into colorful colors by the autumn wind, which were very eye-catching under the sunlight. The waterfowl that have not yet migrated on the water seem to be reluctant to leave this lush grassland. If the grassland in midsummer is compared to a gorgeous watercolor painting, then the grassland in late autumn can be called a rich oil painting.

The terrain of the first bay of the Yellow River is quite flat, the water flow is slow and the water quality is pure. It flows quietly on the vast prairie, like a cardamom girl, calm and slightly shy. In fact, the scenery is the most beautiful in the morning and at night, but many people arrive at a different time. No matter how you look at the scenery from a high place, it is still beautiful. The winding Yellow River is calm and gentle, and under the sun, the river surface is glowing; this calmness is simply not the same river as the Hukou Yellow River Falls.

At first I thought that a different journey was about searching and discovering myself. When the trip is over and I return to familiarity, I am still the same as before; the so-called search and discovery turns out to be the way I look at the past. The more film you have, the more you will discover and change in the future.
