From Wang Peng, in Wuzhong city, Ningxia Hui autonomous region

Ningxia Hui autonomous region is home to the Yellow River, the mother river of China.

I took photos of a tower called Huanghe Tower, or Yellow River Tower, which is located in Wuzhong city, west bank of the Yellow River.

Yellow River Tower covers an area of 22 sq km and the tower is 108 meters tall. The main tower has three parts: an underground one, a platform and a pavilion.

The building imitates the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In early autumn, the scenery of the Yellow River Tower is fascinating. Walking along the side of Yellow River, you will be lost in your imagination.

In summer, you can have a barbecue on the riverside and enjoy time chatting with friends.
