"A big river has wide waves", the river must be wide and long in our hearts, but there is a river in China that breaks everyone's inherent understanding of the river, because the river is too narrow, the narrowest part is only 4 cm . Some people said that this is narrower than the ditch, and the width of the drainage ditch is generally 50 cm. Some netizens said: Are you sure this is not a creek?

What is this river? Where is it in China? With these questions in mind, let's move on.

This is the Consumption River. On the Gongger grassland in Inner Mongolia, the source is Dolenor Lake, which flows directly into Dalinuoer Lake without passing through any river in the middle. The river is 17 kilometers long, and its depth is generally about 20-30 centimeters. You can touch the bottom of the river by squatting by the river and reaching out your hand.

So why did the river get that name? If you don't know or read it wrong, you might think it's called "Mouse River". In fact, "consumption" is Mongolian, and translated into Chinese is "throat eye", which means that the river is as thin as the throat, so many local people also call it "throat eye river".

This river is located in the grassland, like a slender and slender snake, hidden in the grass, and people can hardly see the river swimming, after all, its flow is very small, less than one cubic meter per second. The width of the Hualai River is very narrow, generally only ten centimeters wide, and the narrowest place is only 4 centimeters. Put a book, book or chopsticks, you can cross the bridge, so it has two separate titles - book Bridge River, Chopsticks River.

Why is it called a river instead of a creek when you can stretch out your hand to touch the sand at the bottom of the river, and it is still very narrow? Don't look at it like this, but it is "complete with five internal organs". It has floodplains, meadows on both sides, etc. All the characteristics of rivers can be found in it, and of course it is defined as a river.

Even though this inland lake is shallow and narrow, there are fish in it, and they are rich in crucian carp and Valsalva yarrow. They are also very delicious and can be eaten at nearby herdsmen's homes. But at the narrowest point, if the fish is bigger, it may get stuck and cannot swim through.

Not only that, there are many first- and second-class protected birds, etc. For example, white swans are frequent visitors here. According to statistics, in one year, there are more than 60,000 white swans inhabiting here. The local herdsmen raised more cattle and sheep, and they always surrounded the Hualai River, drinking water in the river and so on.

However, the narrowest river in the world has stopped flowing many times, as if it was caused by human beings. It is said that this place is managed by an employee. In order to prevent the fish in the lake from running away, he adopted an extreme method, that is, the source of the river will be blocked in the future. situation. And the river it flows into, the Dalinore River, will also lack a supply line, which will be affected and so on.

I hope everyone will take good care of this narrow river. Although its fame has attracted some tourists, please do not damage the local environment, water quality, or artificially prevent its flow, etc. Only by working together can this river nourish the land and various flora and fauna.
