About Longjiang First Bend
At the Hongqiling section, the river curls around a peninsula edged with sand. Sunlight on this pale rim gave rise to the name Golden Ring Island, although the landform is described as a peninsula.
Elevated viewpoints reveal how the river nearly encloses the land, setting the curve of the water against the surrounding woodland. The broad overhead view is the distinctive feature of this stretch of river scenery.
What to look for
- The river's omega-shaped bend from an elevated viewpoint
- The sandy rim of the Golden Ring peninsula
- Woodland framing the curved river channel
