The richest river in the world

There are many famous big rivers in the world, and what we are going to talk about today is a rather peculiar river, which is the richest river in the world, worth up to more than 40 billion, and has made many people rich overnight. This river is the Klondike, with a total length of 160 kilometers. It is a magical existence in itself, in the midst of the very cold environment of the Arctic Circle, but never freezes, with four seasons and very beautiful scenery.

Since 1890, when a large amount of gold was found there, more and more people went to the river to look for gold, and the gold in the river seemed inexhaustible, even though there are many people coming to look for gold every day, gold is still constantly coming out of the river, and the locals also used this opportunity to develop the river into a tourist attraction, which attracted a large number of tourists to go there for gold. According to estimates, the value of this river up to more than 40 billion, this temptation for people is very big.

Due to the gold rush, many people became millionaires, and many people followed the gold rush to become millionaires as well. However, resources are limited, and it wasn't long before there was little gold left. The river was becoming depleted due to over-exploitation. The local government saw the situation and took some measures to stop people from coming here to endlessly fish for gold.
