First bay of the Yangtze River

If you find the right place to watch, it is still good. First, go to Shigu Kindergarten, Yulong County, Lijiang City, and walk up the cement road. You can find two observation decks. Whether you use your mobile phone or camera, you can take a beautiful view.

Located in Shigu Town, which is at the junction of Lijiang and Diqing, the town is not big, but people come and go very lively. You can go to the market in the town when you have time. It is very special. The chicken bean rice noodles here are very famous, you can cold, you can also fry it, and the taste is much better than the ancient city of Lijiang. Although it is called the first bay of the Yangtze River, this is actually the Jinsha River. It is more suitable to call the Jinsha River. From the flat ground, the vision is not very good. You can go to the hill behind the hotel at the entrance of the town. You can see the panoramic view, but the entrance is put up by the hotel owner. You have to give some ticket money.

On the way from Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge, there is no high speed. When you arrive at Shigu Town, you will pass the first bay of the Yangtze River. There is a free observation deck. The river is very wide, but if you look at the effect of the bend, if there is no drone, it is actually not so good.

You don't have to come over without a drone. The beauty you see is that the drone flies very high and far away. There is no easy-to-pass observation deck on the flat ground. If you want to take that effect with your mobile phone or camera, you have to climb the mountain.

This scenic area is located near to Lijiang city of Yunnan province. It is called the “first bend” because the river makes a 90 degree turn from south to east within a distance of 1 kilometer. The place was important militarily because big armies crossed the river at that point, and it was a place where Tibetans came down to trade with the people living in the area. It is an interesting scenic area, and there is hiking and other outdoor activities in the area. Fantastic, highly recommend to visit.

The first bay of the Yangtze River, Jinsha River suddenly came a sharp turn of more than 100 degrees, turned to the northeast, forming a "V" shape curve, "the river flow to this into a reversal".

Especially shocking, the first bay on the Jinsha River, the mother river was bred
