“The yellow sand rises as high as white cloud;
The lonely town is lost amid the mountains proud.
Why should the Mongol flute complain no willows grow?
Beyond the Jade Gate vernal wind will never blow!”

the Yellow River seawards flows.
You will enjoy a grander sight
by climbing to a greater height.”
