Laoniuwan is the starting point of the Yellow River flowing into Shanxi Province. When the Yellow River goes south, it turns around and forms a perfect bend. According to folk legend, the ancient Yellow River flooded, and the Lord Lao Zi led the black bull to plow to change the course of the flood. When the bull saw the eternal bright lamp on the Mingdeng mountain, he was frightened and turned his head, plowed out this magic Bend on the earth. The magical legend added a mysterious color to the Laoniuwan. In fact, it is a meandering stream formed by the double action of current erosion and wind erosion of the Yellow River. The arc canyon attracts tourists from all over the world with its beautiful curves. Here the unique natural landscape combines with the loess plateau landform, together presenting a magnificent landscape with beautiful river and grand mountains.
