🗿 Yellow River Mother Sculpture | Symbol of Lanzhou

Just a short stroll from Zhongshan Bridge along the riverside promenade, you’ll find one of Lanzhou’s most iconic landmarks — the Yellow River Mother Sculpture (黄河母亲雕塑).

This beautiful granite statue features a serene mother lying on the riverbank with a smiling baby in her arms, symbolizing the Yellow River as the nurturing cradle of Chinese civilization. 🌊👩👦

It’s more than just a sculpture — it represents the life, strength, and enduring spirit of China’s “Mother River.” With the majestic Yellow River flowing gently behind it and the mountains in the distance, the setting is both powerful and peaceful.

📍Along the way:
• Waterwheel Garden for a peek into ancient irrigation
• Yellow River Cableway Pier — take the cable car up to White Pagoda Mountain for panoramic river views 🌄
• At the top: enjoy sunset views till 6pm (White Pagoda Mountain closes at 9pm)
