Yibin, in southwest China's Sichuan Province, sits at the confluence of the Jinsha, Minjiang, and Yangtze rivers. It is often called the first city along the Yangtze River as it flows eastward. It has long been an important node on the Southern Silk Road, and today the city blends river-port vitality with deep cultural traditions, from historic temples and old streets to scenic areas such as White Tower Mountain and the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea.

As one of the sub-venues of the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, Yibin will bring this unique mix of river culture, history and modern energy to the national stage. Join us in experiencing the city's warmth and vitality.
