Qihe county in Dezhou, East China's Shandong province, has been working to build a cluster of Yellow River museums, which have become the most internet famous attractions in the local area.
The Yellow River is the most important cradle of Chinese civilization, and it is known as the "mother river".
Qihe is the only county along the Yellow River in Dezhou, with 62.5 kilometers of the Yellow River flowing through it.
In recent years, the Shandong province has been committed to building the Yellow River cultural belt. Echoing the province's call, Qihe has focused on the building of the cluster of Yellow River culture museums by restoring traditional ancient buildings. It takes traditional Chinese culture as its focus, with 20 museums and exhibition halls built, including the Yellow River Culture Museum, the Bronze Museum, as well as the Taxidermy Museum.
More than 30,000 artifacts reflecting ancient Chinese culture, such as Yangshao culture and Longshan culture, are on display in the museum clusters, fully displaying the essence of humanities, nature, and art in the Yellow River basin.
