Banks of Yellow River closed off in Lanzhou  

兰州境内黄河河道景观遭遇26年最大洪水重创

黄河上游来水最近逐渐减少，兰州城区黄河水位开始回落，由于汛期仍在持续，还存在涨水隐患，黄河河道内的旅游景观依然被加密的警戒线横七竖八地封闭着，之前赏心悦目的湿地景观也被成片淤泥覆盖或遮掩。

Lanzhou (CNS) – Areas damaged by flooding along the banks of the Yellow River were cordoned off Wednesday in Lanzhou, capital of northwest China's Gansu province.

The local government said there was no timetable for reopening the areas.

The damage caused by the flooding is a warning for future landscape projects or plans, said Wang Liji, deputy director of Lanzhou's Bureau of Landscape and Forestry.

This year the city has experienced its worst flooding since 1986.
