Cultural heritage flowing through the river basin

Lanzhou's landscapes and history endow it with cultural-tourism potential, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences associate professor Yeshi Lhamo said.

The scholar shared her thoughts on the Yellow River's culture at an event on Friday in Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China's Gansu province, through which the river flows.

She spoke of The Epic of King Gesar, which was listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009, and how singers and storytellers around the Yellow River's source in Qinghai province have preserved it.
