About Yellow River Clear Water Scenic Area
The county's tourism information page for the Yellow River Maiden sculpture on the river bank says the Yellow River's water carries a reputation for being the clearest under heaven within Guide County's territory, and it records a seven-character line written at the river bank in July 2000 — 'the Yellow River is clear at Guide' (天下黄河贵德清) — which it treats as the phrase that captures what Guide is. The same page describes the sculpture as 7.8 m tall, standing for the 78 km the Yellow River runs through Guide, and places it beside water it describes as broad and slow-moving.
A 2024 Hainan Daily report carried on the prefecture portal describes the county's work along the river: with the creation of a 'clear Yellow River' (清清黄河) 5A-grade scenic area as the lead, it has been improving the quality of the riverside landscape piece by piece, naming the Shuiche square (水车广场) and the China Fortune Wheel (中华福运轮) among the sites, and it reports that the county has succeeded in creating the Guide national geopark and Qingqing Yellow River as two 4A-grade scenic areas. No cited page uses the catalogue's exact name 黄河清水景观区 or defines its boundary: the 4A-grade site the prefecture names is 清清黄河, and the river-side works the report lists are separate named places, so what the catalogue label covers is not settled by these sources.
