The "mother river" of the Chinese nation, the Yellow River, flows from North to South in Shaanxi through Yulin, Yan'an and Weinan 3 cities, Yan'an is not only the center of the Shaanxi section of the Yellow River, but also the "heart" of the Wanli Yellow River.

Yan'an is a sacred place for the Chinese nation, because there are Huaxia ancestral Xuan Yuan Huangdi tombs in the territory, so it becomes a place of national origin to seek roots and sacrifice. Yan'an is a shrine to the Chinese revolution.

With the start date of 2025 Shaanxi Yellow River Cultural Tourism Month approaching in Yulinjia County, Yan'an's rich yellow river flavor is blooming in different forms. Now, let's take a look at Yan'an along the Yellow River.

The Yellow River runs down from the Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia after entering Qinjin. When it flows through Yan'an, Shaanxi, the majestic river meets this thick yellow land, painting a vast historical humanistic picture.

The Yellow River flows 248 kilometers in Yan'an city, successively through Yanchuan, Extension and Yichuan three counties, leaving the most unique natural and humanistic imprint.

In Yanchuan, the Yellow River forms a natural wonder of Qiankun Bay. It resembles a natural tai chi map. Legend has it here that Fu Xi created gossip.

It is the birthplace of China's onshore oil industry. There are oil records in East Han, ancient oil wells and Yellow River.

Yichuan County is famous for its "world's first yellow waterfall", Yellow River Kekou Falls, the spectacular "thousand-mile Yellow River pot harvest" sound, making Yichuan and Linfen Ji county a place to aspire to at the same time.

According to the editorial department of "China Yellow River Tourism Yearbook", Yan'an tourism has long been very high market attention. Intangible cultural heritage such as Yan'an Yangge, Shaanxi folk song, paper cut, Anse loin drum and other intangible cultural heritage are well known.

The Yellow River has left a starry symbol in Yan'an. Ahead of the grand launch of the 2025 Shaanxi Yellow River Cultural Tourism Month, Yan'an will also host an influential overseas promotion and dialogue event on the Yellow River theme.

During the Golden Autumn Festival, Yan'an's enthusiasm is already reddening with apples. The simple people of Yan'an from Huang Land have extended invitations to the tourist market at home and abroad: welcome to climb up the pagoda mountain to see the scenery, stand in front of Jukou Falls to listen to the roar of the Yellow River, walk into the revolutionary memorial to relive the magnificent history of Yan'an County and enjoy the unique charm of Yellow River culture.
