Introduction

The source of the Yubeng River is a glacial lake located 4 kilometers upstream of the Shouni River at the Xianong Pasture. After leaving the lake, the water is called the Xiaonong River, which meanders southeast through the Xianong Pasture. After passing through a narrow stone gate, the river swiftly descends and passes through Shangcun and Xiaocun, before joining the secondary source Shenpu River of the Yubeng River at Xiaoyubeng Village and becoming the Yubeng River. Locals call it "Yubeng Saqu". The river twists and turns, flows through the lush bedrock, meanders southeast through various places, and finally enters the Lancang River at the south of Ninong Village.
