A few days ago, the reporter walked into the Grand Canyon of the Yellow River in Shichuan Town, Gaolan County, and what was presented in front of him was that the rippling Yellow River water meandered between the steep canyons, with strange rocks on both sides and the green covers of ancient pear orchards, and the natural wonders and profound cultural heritage complemented each other here, attracting tourists from all over the country. This tourist attraction, which integrates ecological beauty, historical charm and folk fun, is writing a new chapter in the cultural tourism of the Yellow River with its unique charm.

　　The Yellow River Grand Canyon is 31.5 kilometers long and is famous for its gorge length, gorge wonder and gorge danger. The mountains on both sides of the canyon are steep, and the cliffs are like knives and axes, naturally forming more than 20 wonders such as "camel riding waves", "general town pass" and "Bajie surrendering to relatives". "The scenery of the canyon here shocked me, not only the majesty of the northern mountains and rivers, but also the beauty of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River." Li Pei, a tourist who took a boat to watch the Grand Canyon of the Yellow River for the first time, sighed after experiencing the boat tour. The reporter learned that with the increasing popularity, the Lanzhou Yellow River Grand Canyon not only provides an excellent place for outdoor adventure enthusiasts to hike and photograph, but also becomes a "natural museum" in the eyes of geological research enthusiasts.

　　In order to meet the diversified needs of tourists, Shichuan Town launched a boat tour project on the Yellow River Qixia during this year's "May Day". Tourists depart from Shichuan Wharf and take a boat down the river, not only to enjoy the beautiful blend of the cliffs on both sides of the river and the ancient pear orchard, but also to listen to the live performance of Lanzhou drums and Qin cavity performed by folk artists. "A boat trip to the Yellow River Grand Canyon is a double enjoyment of sight and sound, and the majestic momentum is eye-catching." The experience testimonials of tourist Wang Dongchun expressed the voices of many tourists.

　　The Yellow River Qixia is a river channel connecting the ancient pear garden of Shichuan and the ancient town of Qingcheng, and is also an extension of the Hundred Mile Yellow River Style Line in Lanzhou. "The Lanzhou Yellow River Grand Canyon water route has a voyage of about 1.5 hours, connecting the two ancient towns of Shichuan and Qingcheng, and we hope to build it into a natural wonder + humanistic ancient town + ecological rural cultural tourism integration demonstration project in the future." Song Ruoyu, a staff member of Lanzhou Water Transport Group Co., Ltd., introduced to reporters. In addition, some farmhouses in Shichuan Town have also launched personalized projects such as camping stargazing and intangible cultural heritage workshop experience, allowing tourists to deeply participate in the experience of local culture while getting close to nature.

　　The reporter learned that with the increasing maturity of the canyon + tourism model, more and more tourists choose to stay here for 2 to 3 days to experience the slow-paced travel of watching the gorge during the day and enjoying the pear orchard at night. "The popularity of Shichuan tourism stems from the uniqueness of the natural landscape and the depth of cultural resources." Wei Shaobang, head of the Gaolan County Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism, told reporters that at present, the county is helping the Yellow River Grand Canyon tourism route become a benchmark project for the integration of culture and tourism through measures such as collecting tourism slogans and creating characteristic water play facilities.
