General presentation
Yibin et mer de bambous
Yangzi confluence, tea hills and huge bamboo forest make up a green destination at the gates of Yunnan.
To understand what Yibin is and the sea of bamboos, you must look at the South Bamboo Sea of Sichuan, the ancient city of Lizhuang and Mount Cuiping. These places give you a view of a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

The wooded hill dominates the confluence of the Min and Jinsha rivers, a traditional birthplace of the Yangzi. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, suitable clothing and hourly margin remain useful, even during the most favorable season.
