River colors contrast in Yidu
2024-07-18 20:07:07
In the city of Yidu, an extraordinary natural phenomenon occurs where the cloudy waters of the Yangtze River meet the clear waters of the Qing River.
This confluence creates a striking and distinct boundary that is especially visible from above. Local residents affectionately refer to this phenomenon as the "Yuanyang Hotpot," after the popular dish with a double-flavoured pot where diners can enjoy both spicy and non-spicy soup bases, divided into two parts.
Recent rainfall upstream has stirred up sediment, further accentuating the contrast between the two rivers.
