Whenever the April breeze gently brushes the summit of Lajishan mountain and awakens the countless trees in the Yellow River Valley, the ancient city of Guide, known as the "Little Jiangnan of the Plateau," unveils its unique beauty—a sea of pear  blossoms are as pure as snowflakes and as pure as jade.

The Yellow River that falls from the sky only appears incredibly clear here, with the purity of pear blossoms. This is Guide County. In the impression of the world, the Yellow River is a roaring yellow dragon, but in Guide, the Yellow River flows quietly in an incredible posture.

Here, the river water is clear to the bottom, like emerald green or as clear as white jade. She shimmered with silky soft light in the sunshine of the plateau, with countless round pebbles in the water. The aquatic plants dancing gently with the waves, and occasionally groups of carp wagged their tails, stirring up the reflections of the rosy clouds and blue sky on both sides.

The crimson Danxia Mountains are like burning flames, forming a beautiful scene with the crystal clear Yellow River. The Yellow River presents its most primitive purity and sanctity here, and also constitutes the most touching ecological wonder on the Qinghai Xizang Plateau.

Guarding the clear water of this river is the mission engraved in the bones of the people of Guide. From regular river cleaning to systematic ecological restoration, from the spontaneous protection of the river by ordinary people to the consensus reached by the whole county, the people of Guide are firmly determined and taking solid actions to fulfill their solemn commitment of "making the Yellow River a happy river that benefits the people".

From the "Pear Blossom Festival" to the "Yellow River Cultural Tourism Season", they are all showcasing vivid practices of deep integration of culture, tourism, ecology, sports, and industry. As an important birthplace of Hehuang culture, Guide is a home for 22 ethnic groups to coexist and prosper together.
