Yellow River Gallery (Kaiyang)
黄河画廊（开阳段）
About 20 km upstream from Qikou, natural relief carvings eroded by the river into a cliff face on the eastern bank of the Yellow River, stretching for several kilometers.
The Yellow River Gallery, also called the Yellow River Water-Eroded Relief, is best seen in the Kaiyang Village section, in the Quyu area of Linxian County, along the eastern bank of the Shaanxi-Shanxi Yellow River Grand Canyon. Over thousands of years, the river and the weather have carved the sandstone cliffs into honeycomb and cloud-like reliefs of many shapes, stretching over 4,000 meters. You can drive along the Yellow River scenic road and stop at the viewpoints, or walk along the foot of the cliffs for a closer look. Photos look best in the late afternoon, when the sidelight is strongest. It is about 20 km from Qikou.
