sculpture Yellow River Mother

Located on the south bank of the Yellow River at middle South Binhe Road, north of Xiaoxihu Park, Yellow River Mother Sculpture is a famous granite artwork created by Gansu sculptor He E. The 40-ton sculpture depicts a gentle mother lying by the river holding an infant, standing for the Yellow River as China’s mother river and thriving Chinese descendants. Its pedestal features primitive fish and ripple patterns from Gansu painted pottery, making it a classic riverside photo spot with profound cultural meaning.
