The Sokovia River was Sokovia's mother river, much like the Yellow River to China, and held a revered status in the country. The river ran through several climate zones, and the northern region Shen Yibin's group was headed for had a cold-temperate climate. This season, the weather was neither too cold nor too hot, making it perfect for an outing.
"To protect the Sokovia River, we've passed laws prohibiting the construction of factories along its banks, so the natural scenery is incredibly well-preserved. You'll see its beauty for yourself soon. I'm sure Hah'Er will love it too." Along the way, Sylvie was constantly pointing out the sights to Shen Yibin.
For example, a castle below had been built by one of her ancestors; a tributary over there was the backdrop for a heroic legend about another; and that mountain range ahead was the site of a great battle—which, of course, her ancestors had also won. Sylvie's family history certainly sounded glorious.
