Yibin Yangtze River Park, close to the confluence of the three rivers, starts from Rongzhou Bridge in the west and ends at Daxikou in the east. It is part of the "green ribbon" on the mother river system of Yibin.
Yibin makes use of the original topography and landforms, according to the water levels in different periods, to form a unique landscape of Yibin Yangtze River Park with 4.2 kilometers of hydrophilic line, waterfront line, greenway line and five functional areas, which solves the water level difference between the dry season and the wet season of the Yangtze River. The problem of reaching more than 15 meters has achieved the purpose of clean and orderly in dry season and flood control in wet season.

Going to the outskirts of Yibin, Shunan Bamboo Sea is known as an emerald on the crown of "the first city on the Yangtze River".
More than 130,000 acres of bamboo forests are connected with mountains and slopes, and when you climb up to a distance, you can see thousands of acres of blue waves and green like the sea.
There are also various rare animals living in the forest, and the ecological environment is excellent.
This bamboo forest not only protects the clear waters and lush mountains and builds an ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but also becomes a magic weapon for the people to get rich.
