The First Bend of the Yellow River

First_Bend_Of_Yellow_River.jpg

Overview
The First Bend of the Yellow River is located in Tangke Township, Zoige County, the junction area of Sichuan, Qinghai and Gansu provinces. It has an altitude of 3430 m above sea level, with an average annual temperature of 2 ?. It lies 68 km away from the county of Zoige, more than 500 kilometers away from the city of Chengdu.

The Yellow River is the cradle for the Chinese nation to grow and multiply; it is carrying the long history of five thousand years of the Chinese civilization. Known as the "Mother River" of the Chinese nation, the Yellow River has two of the most famous attractions, one of which is the very magnificent Hukou Waterfall, another breathtakingly beautiful First Bend of the nine bends of the Yellow River. This is the scenery spot formed next to Suoke Tibetan Monastery, Tangke Township, Zoige County, where the Yellow River flows through Sichuan province.

This cross-section of the Yellow River here is in diameter of 300 meters, while that of Baihe River is of 400 meters. This section of the Yellow River acts as the border of Sichuan and Gansu Provinces, with its West Gansu and East Sichuan. From the side of Gansu Province flows the Yellow River in, while the Baihe River dropping from above into the First Bend of the Yellow River, forming an "S"-shape. The Yellow River water floats from the end of the sky like a fairy streamer, at the edge of Sichuan gently posting a touch and turning back to Qinghai, hence the First Bend of the Yellow River with nine bends.

Here you can appreciate the clear river water and its flat potential. Staying as the picturesque and spectacular background are the blue sky, green grass and flowers, also tents, smokes, horses, sheep and hovering eagles. Among the nine bends, the First Bend of the Yellow River boasts its most beautiful scenery at sunset, when the gradually red turning Sun goes down the mountains, with the whole valley being enveloped in a golden glory. The First Bend of the Yellow River at sunset is a mixture with natural splendor and the desolate setting sun, truly captivating.

The following Chengdu Private Tours may also interest you!

Duration:6-8 Hours

Attractions(Cities): Chengdu Panda Research Base, People's Park, Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley

Tour Style:One day, one private car, and an English-speaking local guide who has already booked every ticket on the list. Mornings start early at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding so you catch the pandas while they are still active; after that, the pace slows to a hillside teahouse in Renmin Park, gaiwan jasmine tea in hand. Between the two you walk Jinli's lantern-lit lane and finish in Kuanzhai Alley, where restored Qing courtyards now sit alongside small shops and tea rooms. Pick-up and drop-off match your schedule — a Chengdu hotel, a train station, or the airport.

Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base, Leshan Giant Buddha

Walk the Nine Bends Plank Road, take the river boat, or do both. English-speaking local guide, private air-conditioned car with an experienced driver, Panda Base and Leshan tickets included, hotel, train station, or airport pick-up.

Attractions(Cities):Chengdu Panda Base, Renmin Park, Wuhou Temple, Jinli Street, Wenshu Monastery, Chengdu Museum, Tianfu Square

Tour Style:This two-day private tour moves between the old and new faces of Chengdu at your own pace. Day 1 starts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in the morning, when the pandas are feeding, then takes in the teahouse scene at Renmin Park, the Three Kingdoms shrines of Wuhou Temple, and the snack stalls and craft shops of Jinli Ancient Street. Day 2 covers the Buddhist halls of Wenshu Monastery, the collections of the Chengdu Museum, and the modern plaza at Tianfu Square. A private car and an English-speaking guide carry you between all of them, with pickup from your hotel, train station, or the airport, and the daily order flexes if you want longer at the panda base or a slower teahouse stop. Lunch is left open so your guide can point you to local kitchens rather than tourist menus.

Duration:8-9 Hours

Attractions(Cities):Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain

Tour Style:This day trip pairs two UNESCO-listed sights west of Chengdu: the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Qingcheng Mountain. A private car and driver collect you from your hotel, train station, or the airport and stop first at Dujiangyan, where an English-speaking guide walks you through the 256 BC waterworks that Li Bing and his son built without a dam, still carrying Min River water onto the Chengdu plain after more than 2,000 years. You see the Fish Mouth levee, Flying Sand Reef, and Bottle Neck channel up close. After lunch you drive to Qingcheng Mountain, a founding site of Taoism, and take the cable car and stone paths past the front-mountain temples. Lunch is left out on purpose so your guide can point you to a local Sichuan kitchen; pace, photo stops, and vegetarian or lighter requests are easy to adjust on a private tour.
