Lesson 4

The group takes a train to Lanzhou. Then they go to the hotel. Later, they go for a walk along the Yellow River.

Li Ming：All right. Let’s go down this street and turn left at the traffic lights. This road will lead us

to the Yellow River.

Danny：Look! A bridge！

Li Ming：This is the Lanzhou Zhongshan Bridge. It was the first bridge over the Yellow River.

The Silk Road crossed the Yellow River in Lanzhou.

Danny：Wow, the Yellow River is so wide!

Li Ming：Yes. It’s wide and long. The Yellow River is about 5 400 kilometres long. We call it the

Mother River.

Danny：Look! A statue beside the Yellow River! A mother with a baby!

Li Ming：Oh, that’s the Mother River Statue.

Ms. Martin：It’s beautiful!

Danny：Can we take a picture in front of the statue, Ms. Martin?

Ms. Martin：Sure!
