The Yellow River at Lanzhou

Lanzhou is the ONLY Chinese provincial capital on the Yellow River (the big Muddy)

On our last day, before getting on the train back to Beijing, the students had a scavenger hunt around town to find local landmarks.  This was one of them, the statue of the "Mother of the Pearl River"

A second one was the Zhongshan Bridge.

It was designed by Germans....

...built by Americans...

...and was the first bridge built across the Yellow River (1907).
