The Earth Suspended River (地上悬河 [1] is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which is a world-famous geographical landscape. Also known as 'the raised bed river', its bed is more than 3 metres higher than the ground. In some places, the water level is even about 10 metres higher than the ground.
