Yibin, where the Jinsha and Minjiang rivers meet to form the mighty Yangtze, is known as "the first city on the Yangtze" in the southern part of southwest China's Sichuan Province. Once a key hub on the Southern Silk Road, today it pulses with river-port vitality, offering historic landmarks and scenic beauty. As a national historical and cultural city, Yibin has long connected Sichuan to the greater Yangtze basin — inviting visitors to experience the timeless rhythm of the river's first bend.
