Introduction

Tao Lai River is located in the Heihe river system, formerly known as "Hu Can River", which means the gift from heaven, also known as "North Big River". The river originates from the Qilian Mountains and flows through the territory of Jiayuguan for about 35 kilometers. Due to long-term erosion, the riverbed has gradually widened or sunk year by year, forming a large canyon with a depth between 50 and 800 meters, and the terrain is dangerous.
