A folk festival, offering people the chance to embrace natural scenery and traditional customs, has recently drawn hundreds of tourists from across China to visit Old Bull Bay in Qingshuihe county.

Old Bull Bay, located at the entrance of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Valley, derives its name from a land formation in the region that resembles a bull’s head.

Recognized as the only spot offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the Great Wall and the Yellow River, Old Bull Bay gives tourists a taste of both Mongolian and Han cultures.
