Huanghe measured 5464 km in length is the 2nd longest river in China and runs in the 6th position worldwide. Originated in Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai, Yellow River is The Cradle of Chinese Civilization. It loops from Qinghai to Gangsu, from Inner Mongolia to Shanxi, finding its way through mountains across North China Plain. Beneath the Ordos Region where Huanghe crosses over in Inner Mongolia, Ming Dynasty's Great Wall was built cutting across the center and separating the nomadic north from agricultural southern area. The three bays formed under the condition offer incredible scenic sights surrounded the two China's greatest symbols.
Laoniu-wan, the former Ming military garrison has turned into a living village for local inhabitants and is now developing into an touristic attraction.
At this phase, water of Yellow River is crystal clear glaring in green or emerald color.
From far distance, the earthen remains of Great wall that curls along the cliffs at the bank of Yellow River on the loess soil plateau, had merged into the environment as one body. Great Wall of Ming Dynasty was believed to use the same kind of earthen material sharing common color and texture of what presently exist at site.
It is the site where a man-made marvel Great Wall intersects with natural Huanghe River.

The flow of Yellow River is exactly like the pace of life in Laoniu-wan, calm and steady.
Bay of Laoniu-wan has an interesting legend relating to Yellow River. It was said that the canal was excavated by an heavenly old ox to channel the flooding water. The two holes appeared at the rocky wall in Inner Mongolia were the two large eyes of the ox, the jutting terrains on the other side of the bay are its head and tongue.
Steep cliffs and precipices in line at both sides of Yellow River.
