Yuanmou Jiangbian Township: Admire the geological wonders.

⛱️Must-see attractions: Jinsha River Scenic Belt Activities: Take a boat trip through the canyon and view the steep mountains along the riverbanks. In winter, when the water level drops, the exposed riverbed is visible. Yuanmou Earth Forest (Wumao/Langbapu) Features: About an hour's drive from Jiangbian Township, featuring bizarre earth pillars. The scenery is stunning at sunset. Red Army's Long March Jinsha River Crossing Site History: The Longjie Ferry crossing point where the Red Army crossed the Jinsha River in 1935. There is a memorial hall and a monument. 🍜Local cuisine: Jiangbian Salted Fish: Fresh fish from the Jinsha River, marinated and then steamed or boiled. Savory and flavorful. Yuanmou Cold Chicken: Free-range chicken with a cold dressing. Sour, spicy, and appetizing. 🏨Accommodation guide: Hotels in Yuanmou County: More choices and better conditions (such as hot spring hotels near the Earth Forest). Guesthouses in Jiangbian Township: Simple facilities, suitable for budget travelers. 💗Other tips: The Earth Forest area has strong sunlight. Remember to wear a hat and sunglasses, and bring plenty of water. Some sections of the riverside roads have sharp bends and steep slopes. Drive carefully.
