Anyone know how a 051 DDG was transported to Yinchuan to be a museum ship? Was it towed all the way up the yellow river?

Yinchuan city is located just by the Yelloow River. Type 051 is a small destroyer of only 3,670 tons displacement fully loaded. so it is far more easier to move by waterway when it is empty.

She was decommissioned on 15 November 2007 and towed to Yellow River Military Cultural Expo Park, Yinchuan to serve as a museum ship.
