First Bend of the Yangtze River

The Yangtze River Bend, as its name denotes, is the spot where the south-running river suddenly turns northward due to changes in the shape of the nearby mountain ranges, which form a mammoth V, shape at this spot. With the gradual deposit of fertile soil at this spot, a village slowly came into being, now called Shigu Town, meaning "stone drum" in Chinese. Since ancient times, this town has been important, linking Tibet with the outside world. Here Tibetan people bring their quality animal hides and herbal medicines, and take home tea, salt, cloth and other necessities. When market day comes, the town is incredibly crowded and noisy.
