Hohhot to Xian via Yellow river (huang he)

ANDREWHARRIS Points: Join Date: Feb 28, 2005 Status: offline	I was wondering if for a section of the journey between Hohhot and Xian I could follow the Huang he or whether for a day or so I could get off the train, take a boat down the river and then get back onto the train at a station further down and continue to Xian. I haven't been able to find anything like what I am looking for- is this because it doesn't exist or am I looking in the wrong place? The train from Datong to Xian goes inland further than I want and I would rather travel along the river or on the western side of the river, is it possible? Thanks Andrew

The train leaves at 1144 and arrives xi'an at 0951 the next morning.As the train passes Fenglingdu at around 7 o'clock the next morning you will see Huanghe. The train also passes all the important cities like Datong, Taiyuan,Pingyao,etc. So you can choose to get off as you like.

I am heartbroken.
I found that info for you but u didnot show thanks anyway while u gave thanks to some with lip service.
Anyway, i suggest you to get off in Ping Yao for there is much to see. And Pingyao is located nearer to both Lingshi County for the Wang's Family House and Qixian County for the Qiao's family than Taiyuan.
In Taiyuan, only Jinci Temple is famous but u can see such Buddhist temple anywhere.

I have already spent hours trying to find the best train times on both this site and on others on the internet.

That is the most dramatic scene belonging to Yellow River, the remains of this mother river cannot support Chinese as before, such as in Tang dynasty. Strictly speaking it is not a river now, it more like brook! I know the details about this river, because my master thesis is focused on the geological evolution of Yellow river.
