The Yellow River Stone Forest: Perhaps there will be no future meeting

The Yellow River Stone Forest National Geopark has a rather complex mode of transportation: self-driving mountain road➡️park shuttle bus➡️electric cart➡️canyon hiking➡️electric cart➡️donkey cart➡️climbing on foot➡️descending on foot➡️return by donkey cart+electric cart+shuttle bus. The Yellow River Stone Forest Grand Canyon is located in Jingtai County, Gansu Province, with a plateau loess landform, vast and desolate. A significant event occurred in the history of the Yellow River Stone Forest: in 2021, a mountain marathon held here resulted in the hypothermia deaths of 21 participants due to sudden weather changes and poor management. The mountain road that now leads to the main entrance of the scenic area by self-driving was once the race track, and it seems that this event has been discontinued after 2021. In the future, an even greater event will take place here: the construction of the Heishanxia Hydropower Station on the Yellow River. Once the hydropower station is completed and put into operation, the main area of the canyon will become a reservoir, and this natural wonder may be submerged underwater, never to be seen again. So-called 'time brings great changes to the world' is the transformation under the mighty force of nature, where the primordial wilderness recedes, and the towering mountains stand, leaving behind thousands of ravines as the annals of time; 'time brings great changes to the world' is also due to human interference, turning the natural creation and historical glory into nothingness, gradually forgotten. Years later, when people face the high gorges and flat lakes, how will they imagine the once meandering paths, how will they mourn the lost footsteps? All meanings are meaningless, all ends are but dust settling. 🚙

Another place is the viewing platform at the end of the canyon, you need to walk or take a donkey cart up 📷Twenty-two bends: The drone view is no less than the Panlong Ancient Road and the 72 bends of Yela Mountain. The best take-off point is about 100 meters ahead of the ticket office 👉About the donkey cart: At the end of the Yima Gully Grand Canyon, you can take a donkey cart to the viewing platform, but the donkey cart can no longer go towards the canyon (as of the end of September 2023).

Supplies can also be purchased at the end of the canyon, and the prices are quite affordable. There are public toilets in the canyon for convenience.

Beginning in December, they gradually entered the cold winter mode. Autumn and winter are my favorite seasons, like a small world of honey. I went to Gansu a while ago. Everyone knows that Gansu is a good place to take beautiful photos, but it is already very cold.
