Yellow River Scenic Park & G210 Bridge
包头黄河风情园
A Yellow River viewpoint south of Baotou, where the G210 bridge links Baotou and Ordos and you can watch the river's great bend from the bank.
Baotou owes its growth to the Yellow River, and the G210 Yellow River Bridge in the south of the city is the most convenient spot for a close-up view of the river. On the north bank are the Yellow River Scenic Park and Yellow River Fishing Village, where you can walk along the embankment, eat Yellow River carp, and watch the wide, gentle river and the sandbars in midstream. The sunset reflected on the water is especially spectacular in the evening. In winter the river freezes over, and in early spring you may see drifting ice floes. This is also the main route to Ordos (including Kangbashi and Xiangshawan), so it makes a convenient stop on a road trip. It is about 20–30 minutes' drive from Kundulun District. The riverside is windy, so keep away from loose riverbank sand, and never walk on the ice in winter or spring.
