A must-see natural wonder on the G214 Yunnan-Tibet Line｜The Big Bend of the Jinsha River.

❤Reason for recommendation:

The Big Bend of the Jinsha River is one of the iconic landscapes in the World Natural Heritage "Three Parallel Rivers" area. It is also the dividing line between Yunnan and Sichuan. On one side is Benzilan Town, Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and on the other side is Sichuan Province. Zigeng Township, Derong County, Ganzi Prefecture.

The Jinsha River rushing from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau makes a 180° turn among the high mountains, forming a perfect "Ω" shape. It is known as the wonder of the world - Moon Bay. The uncanny craftsmanship of nature is amazing when viewed from the air. .

🌟Highlights:

There is a beautiful and spacious observation deck built on the top of Moon Bay. Standing here, overlooking the panoramic view of the first bay of Jinsha River, you can't help but marvel at the magic of nature while feeling relaxed and refreshed.

High observation deck: You can see the whole view of Big Bend, surrounded by mountains, and the Jinsha River flows slowly like golden water. Under the sunlight, the entire Big Bend is sparkling with golden light, resplendent and spectacular!

Low Observation Deck: Follow the plank road down to the riverside, where you can feel the majesty of the Jinsha River and the depth and steepness of the canyon up close. The river rushes through the canyon, making a deafening roar. You can take photos of the moment when the river water hits the rocks and the waves splash, as well as the steep walls and vegetation-rich hillsides on both sides of the canyon.
