Qingtongxia City, a county-level city, belongs to Wuzhong City, Ningxia, and is located between Yinchuan and Zhongwei. From Yinchuan to Shapotou in Zhongwei, Qingtong Gorge is a must pass, but tourists often ignore Qingtong Gorge. After seeing Shapotou in Zhongwei, how can we not visit the Grand Canyon of the Yellow River in Qingtong Gorge? very beautiful.

Qingtongxia is really worth stopping to appreciate. There is a saying in Ningxia: The Yellow River in the world is rich in Ningxia, and the Pearl of Ningxia is Qingtong Gorge. The world-famous Qingtongxia comes more from the Qingtongxia Water Conservancy Project, which was built during the three-year difficult period of China in the last century. The completion of the water conservancy project not only expanded the area of ​​self-flowing irrigation along the banks of the Yellow River in Ningxia by tens of thousands of hectares, but also made the Shili Yellow River Grand Canyon at the southernmost tip of Helan Mountain a tourist attraction.

The Qingtongxia Reservoir Dam was built near the original sites of the water intakes of the ancient Qin Canal, Han Canal, and Tang Canal. The water depth of the reservoir is about 20 meters. Because the greater function of Qingtongxia Water Conservancy Project is not to block water for power generation but to divert water for irrigation, so it is different from the lake surface of Xiaolangdi Reservoir, which is clear and blue, the water of the Yellow River here is basically transient, and it is still mixed with yellow. Soup and go.

When you see the Yellow River, you can always see Dayu. Dayu's water control is indeed a great cause that benefits the present and contributes to the future. The spirit of Dayu's water control has been passed down from generation to generation in China and has never been erased. Therefore, seeing Dayu Statue and Dayu Cultural Park in Qingtongxia Grand Canyon has nothing to do with it, and it is still cordial.

The most famous monument in the Yellow River Grand Canyon is the 108 Pagodas. The 108 Pagodas were built in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. They are all spectacular sights in the history of ancient pagoda architecture in the world. They are still neatly lined up on the mountainside on the south side of the Yellow River, guarding the Yellow River for hundreds of years. look at each other.

The right hand of the 108 Pagoda is the newly renovated Pagoda Forest Temple. I wonder if Maitreya, Guanyin, and Buddha will always protect the Yellow River Anlan, protect the Yellow River and benefit the people, and count the stories of the Yellow River for the benefit of the world?

The 108th Pagoda is holding the Ziyun Temple with its left hand. The incense in the Taoist Pure Land must also be praying every day, reporting to the Jade Emperor the great achievements of the Yellow River in benefiting Ningxia and benefiting China, and reporting that the old appearance of the Qingtongxia Yellow River Grand Canyon has changed. generous and beautiful.
