dahe.net news: "the water of the yellow river is so turbid. how can we prevent and control the natural hazards caused by the large amount of sediment it carries?" "there are nile crocodiles in the nile river basin in africa, so are there crocodiles in the yellow river?" "it is beautiful and peaceful here. what results have been achieved with the government's hard work?" facing the wide and gentle yellow river channel, african media reporters' interview questions came one after another.
on september 5, 16 representatives from 11 mainstream media and institutions in east africa who participated in the "walking in china, zhengzhou tour" china-africa media joint interview activity visited the yellow river beach park, yellow river cultural park and other places in huiji district, toured nanguotou square, and appreciated the infinite scenery of the yellow river at close range. they truly felt the rich achievements henan has made in the protection, promotion and inheritance of the yellow river ecological culture, and immersively embraced the beauty of the river, culture and civilization.

"there are green vegetation all around, and the buildings in the square are mostly made of stone. is there any special purpose for this?" strolling to the nanguotou square of the yellow river beach park, tanzanian star tv reporter joan john lyimo noticed the tall protective forests on both sides and the buildings in front of him.
"nanguotou square is mainly made of stone. if the yellow river encounters extreme conditions, all its main building materials can be pushed into the yellow river to protect the yellow river embankment." with the introduction of the tour guide, qiong also learned that the yellow river will carry out a water and sediment adjustment operation in mid-june every year, which lasts for more than 20 days. after decades of water and sediment adjustment, the main channel of the yellow river has dropped by an average of more than 3 meters. in recent years, henan's efforts in ecological protection of the yellow river basin answered her confusion about the yellow river sediment control work.
it is understood that since 2020, the water quality of the mainstream of the yellow river (henan section) has continuously reached class ii, and the sections with inferior class v water quality have been steadily eliminated. from january to july 2024, the mainstream of the yellow river continued to maintain class ii water quality, and the water quality of class i to iii in the national controlled sections of the basin accounted for 93.9%, which was the same as the previous year, and there was no section with inferior class v water quality. "in tanzania, we also have many rivers, such as the nile, as well as lakes and oceans. it will be very beneficial if natural resources can be effectively protected." qiong told reporters that china's successful practice in the management of the yellow river basin is worthy of reference and learning from africa.

"are there crocodiles in the yellow river?" qiong told the reporter that there are nile crocodiles in the nile river basin in africa. qiong was very surprised to learn that the carp in the "yellow river carp" special henan-style dish she had tasted before grew in this big river. "you can see water birds not far away, and i heard that there are egrets in the lake in the evening." in qiong's view, biodiversity is very important.
in recent years, in order to highlight its locational advantages and unique ecological positioning as the yellow river's reception hall and zhengzhou's back garden, huiji district has focused on planning urban ecological landscapes and rural ecological landscapes, combining natural ecosystems with artificial green space ecosystems, and combining trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses to achieve the effect of green plant diversity.

"this place is very attractive, the roads are very clean, the trees are neatly arranged, and people can sit down, relax and enjoy the fresh life. there is not only the yellow river as a natural resource, but also a trail along the yellow river for enjoying the river." coming to the ancient yellow river stele in the riverside square in the yellow river cultural park, abena chidzania nkoma, chief program producer of the malawi broadcasting corporation, found two african compatriots among the many tourists who came here to check in and take photos. "as a window to showcase china, the yellow river ip is attracting more and more attention from the world."
the yellow river cultural park is located to the south of the towering yue mountain and to the north of the surging yellow river. it is the starting point of the yellow river's "hanging river on the ground" and the end point of the loess plateau. in the early 1970s, the site of the project was still a barren mountain. after the transformation began, the greening work in the park lasted for decades, and it was committed to creating and excavating the yellow river culture. from the first cultural symbol - the statue of nurturing, to the yan and huang emperors and the yellow river national geological museum, after decades of construction, the yellow river cultural park has now become a large park integrating tourism, scientific research, culture, and research, with the theme of promoting yanhuang culture and yellow river culture.

"this is a modern place where people and nature coexist in harmony." abna wrote this sentence in her notebook. from chaos to picturesque scenery, the yellow river, which carries the history of chinese civilization for thousands of years and has nurtured generations of chinese people, is radiating new vitality and vigor in ecological protection and high-quality development.
