My hometown Yibin is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River, Minjiang River and Jinsha River. In Yibin, there are Yangtze River, Jinsha River and Minjiang River, as well as Ganjiang River, Fujiang River, Hengjiang River, Yuexi River, Nanguang River and Huangshahe River. These rivers have brought prosperity to Yibin, and also bred the great river culture of Yibin, which has continued the cultural roots of Yibin.
Yibin's great river culture includes worshipping dragons, respecting the "master of Sichuan", building towers and docks. Without Sanjiang, there would be no land in Yibin, and there would be no ancient city in Yibin. The great river nourishes the mountains and rivers of Yibin and Yuan Ye, and also shapes the original ecological cultural model of Yibin. For thousands of years, the first cultural element that permeates Yibin people's blood is Dajiang culture.
The great river accommodates hundreds of rivers and rushes to the ocean, shaping the spirit of tolerance, openness, freedom and truth-seeking of Yibin people, which is the soul of great river culture.
Yibin is a famous historical and cultural city in China, where the world-famous Wuliangye is produced. The developed brewing industry has made Yibin a veritable "wine capital of China". Yibin is one of the earliest and oldest cities in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It is the starting point of the Southern Silk Road and is known as "the half of Gu Rong in the southwest".
It has passed through more than 40,000 years of historical time and space, bearing more than 3,000 years of brewing history and more than 2,780 years of city building history. It is one of the earliest ancient cities in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The urban area is surrounded by mountains, and Jinsha River and Minjiang River pass through the city and meet the Yangtze River at Hejiangmen.
Yibin Old Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, backed by Cuiping Park, the second largest urban forest park in China, with fresh air and beautiful environment. It is a rare treasure trove of geomantic omen, a Buddhist resort and a cultural site. The Thousand Buddha Temple, the Nezha Ancestral Temple and the Nezha Palace are located in Cuiping Mountain, and the Zhenwushan Ancient Architecture Complex, a national key cultural relic protection unit, is distributed in the park.
Wuliangye Shili Wine City is located in Jiangbei District of the city and is a national industrial tourism demonstration site. There are Jiusheng Mountain, Pengcheng Square, Endeavour Tower, Anle Spring, Century Square, Dongdaemun Square, Wine History Museum, Fortune Hotel and other attractions.
Yibin Meng is a must. It is one of the four famous dishes in Sichuan, also known as "Xufu sprouts". Founded in the Qing Dynasty (about 1838), fresh vegetables were cut into shreds, dried in the sun until the leaves gradually withered, and then marinated with seasonings. Its main characteristics are fragrant, crisp, sweet, tender and beautiful. Yibin's black tea is also good. It is one of the three major kungfu teas in China, and enjoys the same fame as "Qihong" and "Dianhong".
