Backpacking Travel Guide to Yellow River Park



Twenty-eight kilometres north of the city at the terminus of bus #16, which leaves from Minggong Lu just outside the train station, the Yellow River Park (daily 8am-6pm; Y10) is really a stretch of typical Chinese countryside, incorporating villages and allotments, that you have to pay to get into because it has a view of the Yellow River.

From the hilltops you have a good view over the river and the plain of mud either side of it, flat and devoid of incident except for the electricity pylons crossing it. It's hard to imagine that in 1937, when Chiang Kaishek breached the dykes 8km from the city to prevent the Japanese capturing the rail line, the Yellow River flooded this great plain, leaving more than a million dead and countless more homeless.
