When people from Lanzhou arrived in Zhengzhou, they all said that the Yellow River was as wide as the sea. What did Zhengzhou people say after seeing the Yellow River in Lanzhou?

On May 23rd, Jian participated in the # Touching the Yellow River # photo collection activity, which was a grand gathering of 36 well-known media from all over the country to share how Zhengzhou, Henan Province managed and transformed the Yellow River in recent years.

I come from Jinan, Shandong, and I grew up on the banks of the Yellow River. Jinan is less than 500 kilometers from Zhengzhou, but I seldom have the opportunity to go. But the Yellow River runs through the distance between Jinan and Zhengzhou, so we can drink the Yellow River water together and enjoy a family. When it comes to the Yellow River, all friends related to the Yellow River will feel more cordial. They go up to the Yogu Zonglie Basin at the northern foot of Bayankala in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flow through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong from west to east, and finally flow into the Bohai Sea. These children who live on the banks of the Yellow River are all descendants of the Yellow River. Do you want to kiss or not? ?

The widest riverbed area of the Yellow River in Jinan (across the city) can be calculated according to the distance of 2023 meters of the length of the Yellow River Bridge. The Yellow River runs from west to east, and the riverbed often passes through different cities and regions, especially Zhengzhou.

Among them, from Baihe Town, Mengjin County, Henan Province to Gaocun River, Dongming County, Shandong Province, the distance between the two sides is 5 km to 20 km wide. The widest place is Dacheji, Changyuan County, Henan Province, which is 20 kilometers apart.

Zhengzhou, Henan Province is a city that really turns the Yellow River into a landscape. Zhengzhou has actually built a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot and a national water conservancy scenic spot. The scenic spot is located on the bank of the Yellow River, 20 kilometers northwest of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, with the majestic Yueshan Mountain in the south and the surging Yellow River in the north, which is a national scenic spot.

The geographical location of Zhengzhou is amazing. If divided according to the route of the Yellow River, Zhengzhou belongs to the middle and lower reaches watershed. The Yellow River in Zhengzhou is a great "river above ground", which is what we call a "suspended river". What is a hanging river, we might as well read it in detail:

The so-called suspended river is a river whose riverbed is higher than the ground on both sides of the river, also known as the "above-ground river". The basin comes from a river with a large amount of sediment. In the middle and lower reaches of the valley, it is wide and gentle, with a large amount of sediment accumulation, the riverbed rising and the water level rising accordingly. In order to prevent water damage, the dams on both sides of the river are constantly raised, and the riverbed is higher than the ground on both sides of the river, becoming a "suspended river". From Taohuayu to Hekou, the flow is 768 kilometers. Every year, about 400 million tons of sediment is deposited in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the riverbed is rising year by year. The lower reaches of the Yellow River is a world-famous "suspended river", and the riverbed beach surface is generally 3~5 meters higher than the back river surface.

Zhengzhou Yellow River has been listed as a national geological park. The special characteristics of the suspended river form a vast, magnificent, magnificent and beautiful natural landscape. If you stand on the bank of Zhengzhou Yellow River Park and look at the Yellow River, you will be really proud.

In recent years, Zhengzhou has made a historic breakthrough in harnessing the Yellow River.

1952 65438+1October 3 1, Chairman inspected the Yellow River, strolled up Xiaodingshan, sat on the ridge for a long time, and issued a great call to "do a good job in the Yellow River".

The Yellow River roared back from the upper reaches and suddenly calmed down when it passed through the Central Plains. This is the role played by the sediment texture in the Central Plains. The sediment of the Yellow River has accumulated in the Central Plains for a long time, and its softness and smoothness calmed the anger of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River began to "correct the deviation" and "recuperate" in Henan. Sediment began to deposit and accumulated over time, and the Yellow River became an out-and-out "suspended river" after being repaired here.

The danger of hanging a river is that once the Yellow River bursts, the river will not return to its original channel, but will open another channel with its own water potential and flow downstream into the sea. This is also one of the reasons why rivers have changed frequently in history.

The Yellow River changed its course six times in history. I won't go into details here. Interested friends can look at the development history of the Yellow River. Every time the river course changes, human beings are forced to change by the Yellow River.

Now, after 40 years of development and construction, the Yellow River in Zhengzhou has become a large-scale scenic spot integrating sightseeing, leisure and holiday, popular science education, root-seeking and ancestor worship, and promoting Chinese civilization. It has become a rare tourist attraction in China, and it is also the leading attraction of the Yellow River Tour, the "soul of the Chinese nation".

The Yellow River Scenic Area has been opened to the outside world, covering an area of more than 20 square kilometers. Five scenic spots, namely Wulong Peak, Yueshan Temple, Dayu Mountain, Yanhuang Emperor and Xinghai Lake, have been built, and there are more than 40 places such as "Giant Sculpture of Yanhuang Emperor", "Sacrificial Statue", "Dayu", Forest of Steles on the Yellow River, the First Bridge of the Yellow River in Wan Li, Chairman Mao's inspection of the Yellow River, Futian Pavilion, Jim Pavilion and Peacock Garden.

Among them, the giant statue of Emperor Yanhuang is a combination of traditional sculpture art in China and architectural art in China, with a height of106m, which is one of the tallest sculptures in the world.

Following the successful inauguration ceremony in 2007, the Yellow River Scenic Area held "China Zhengzhou Yanhuang Culture Week" for three consecutive years, which had a strong response at home and abroad. Many tourists from home and abroad come to see the giant statue of Emperor Yanhuang, which has become a holy place for Chinese and international friends all over the world to seek roots and worship their ancestors and visit. The scenic spot receives millions of Chinese and foreign tourists every year and is known as a pearl on the Yellow River in Wan Li.

Speaking of the Yellow River in Zhengzhou, this article has to be suffixed.

There are two Yellow River bridges, old and new, in Zhengzhou. The old bridge is a single-track railway bridge, which was started in September 1903, completed in June15 (the 31st year of Guangxu reign in Qing dynasty) and opened to traffic in April/906. This is the first railway bridge built on the Yellow River.

After the founding of New China, in February 1954, the construction of Yellow River Railway Bridge was put on the agenda again, and the design began. 1957 was included in the 12th Five-Year Plan and was completed and opened to traffic in April. Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge on Beijing-Guangzhou Railway started on May 1958, and was completed and opened to traffic on April 20th 1960, with a total length of 2,889.8 meters. The top speed designed at that time was 80 kilometers per hour. Standing on the Yellow River Bridge, you can see a train passing by every three or four minutes. The horn sounded like a simple melody. There are 240 trains every day, and thousands of passengers pass by here from distant places and are sent to distant places. As a result, Zhengzhou has become the "China Railway Heart" and "China Traffic Crossroads", and its economy has developed rapidly. (The Beijing-Guangzhou Railway has Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge, and the Zhengjiao Intercity Railway has the Yellow River Bridge. )

Walking in the urban area of Lanzhou, you can only feel the warmth and softness of the Yellow River in the urban area, so that you can't feel the roar and cry of the Yellow River in the middle and lower reaches of Zhengzhou in July! Some experts have further demonstrated that the flood in Zhengzhou this year has a potential relationship with the Yellow River. This requires experts to follow up the management of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.
