The autumn scenery of Shapotou is poetic and picturesque

In the golden autumn, Shapotou dons its colorful autumn attire, where the Yellow River and Tengger Desert embrace each other affectionately, creating a flowing oil painting. The Yellow River bends gently at Shapotou, its autumn waters clear and pure. Riding a sheepskin raft downstream, the raftmen’s songs blend with the sound of the waves, while the golden opposite bank contrasts beautifully with the blue sky. At sunset, the Yellow River is dyed orange-red, with lingering light shimmering and birds flying by, revealing a vast and deep affection. The autumn colors in the forest are richly layered, with jujube and pine trees draped in dark red and yellow veils, forming a colorful painting with the sand dunes. On autumn nights, Shapotou becomes a sacred place for stargazing, with the Milky Way shining brightly and shooting stars streaking across the sky. Come to Shapotou and experience the vastness and deep emotion of the desert autumn!
