The First Bend of Yangtze

The First Bend of the Yangtze River is a world-famous geological phenomenon and an extraordinary panoramic scene whose vistas you will long remember with great pleasure.
The First Bend of the Yangtze River is located between Shasongbi Village of Shangri-la County and Shigu Town of Lijiang, with an elevation of 1850m, 130km away from Shangri-la County. Originating from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yangtze River surges southeastward before it meets the Hengduan Mountain Range. About 44 miles outside of Lijiang, unusual geological phenomenons force the Yangtze to make a sudden V-shaped bend and flow to the northeast. This extraordinary turn, nearly180-degrees, creates beautiful and marvelous views that startle the imagination. This is praised as “the First Bend of the Yangtze River”. Large willow trees grow luxuriously alongside the river that is banked on both sides with lush, fertile deep green vegetation and immense, steep mountains that rise up from the river to touch the clouds in the blue sky above. The whole sight is like a wonderful landscape painting that never ends. This is the First Bend of the Yangtze River - a world-famous geological phenomenon and an extraordinary panoramic scene whose vistas you will long remember with great pleasure.
