  “Dayu Ferry is the post road and the main route of salt transportation in the past. It is called the three ancient ferry of the Yellow River together with Fengling Ferry and Maojin Ferry. It is called the'iron wharf'.” Yan Juan, a staff member of the Dayu Ferry Scenic Spot, said. Dayudu has become a tourist attraction integrating Yellow River culture, Dayu culture and modern water conservancy culture.

  The ancient ferry where the culture of the Yellow River accumulates is witnessing the vicissitudes of this land.

For a long time, these ancient ferry crossings were once prosperous and prosperous. With the flying bridges of the Yellow River, the ancient ferry crossings are no longer in their former glory.

However, just like the Dayu Ferry, the rise of tourism culture and the construction of modern water conservancy projects, the once-declining ancient ferry of the Yellow River has a new look.

  Pujin ancient ferry and Pujiu Temple and Guanquelou, where the story of "West Chamber" took place, are located on the golden tourist line of southern Shanxi; Qikou ancient ferry also reproduces the "Jiuqu Yellow River No. 1 Town" due to its rich tourism resources and heavy Yellow River culture. Wanjiazhai is the starting point of the Shanxi Province’s Yellow River to Shanxi Province project.

  In Dayudu, the place where Dayu ruled water in ancient times, the construction of water-lifting projects changed the local situation of "living along the Yellow River, draught is harder than oil, surging water flows eastward, and drought makes people worry".

Zhang Bo, director of the Dayudu Water Lifting Project Hub Station, said that at present, the project can irrigate an area of ​​546,200 mu, accounting for more than 70% of the local irrigated land area, benefiting more than 286,000 people in 9 towns.

  The Yellow River flows in the ancient ferry, and the story is passed on by the Yellow River.

Throughout the ages, the ancient ferry crossings have passed through the years, intertwined with a vertical and horizontal Sanjin Yellow River chronicle, supporting the backbone of the Yellow River culture in Shanxi.
