Bay of Laoniu-wan lies at the border of Shanxi and Inner Mongolia at north west of China, is the place where the flow of Yellow River instead of heading straight, makes a turn of 180 degree, weaving round those jutting out unique terrains before going south to Shanxi. It is also a site where The Great Wall built in Ming Dynasty, curling on the cliff parallel along with Yellow River.
Laoniu-wan has an interesting legend relating to Yellow River. It was believed that the mother river of China was ploughed out by a sacred old ox sending down from heaven to channel the flooding water that gave great sufferings to people and took away many human's lives and properties.
