The map
Shigu Map Poster & Print
Shigu is a town in Yulong County, near Lijiang in northwest Yunnan. It is best known for its position at the First Bend of the Yangtze. Here the upper Yangtze, known locally as the Jinsha River, comes down out of the mountains and then swings abruptly around to the northeast. On a map the turn is dramatic and easy to read.
The town's name means 'stone drum', after a drum-shaped stone monument that stands there. Its streets gather on the riverbank at the foot of the hills. In 1936, during the Long March, units of the Red Army crossed the Jinsha near Shigu, and the town marks the event with a memorial.
A Shigu map poster is really a portrait of the bend itself. The river's broad curve dominates the frame, the town sits compactly at its edge, and roads follow the valley in both directions. The result is one of the most distinctive river shapes in China.

Riverbank town
Shigu's streets sit compactly on the bank between the river and the hills. They form a small, dense cluster held tightly by the landscape.
Valley roads
Roads follow the river valley in both directions. They trace the water's path and emphasise the scale of the bend on the map.
