Qiankun Bend (Pianguan)
黄河乾坤湾(偏关)
An S-shaped great bend of the Yellow River in the Pianguan section, named for its resemblance to the taiji symbol. It can be seen from a high viewpoint beside the Yellow River scenic road.
Qiankun Bend in Pianguan lies south of Laoniuwan, upstream of the Wanjiazhai Dam. There the Yellow River curls around the mountains in a bend of nearly 360 degrees. It shares its name with the Qiankun Bend in Yanchuan, Shaanxi, but is a separate site. A free viewing platform sits beside the Yellow River scenic road. Allow 20 to 40 minutes for parking and photos. It can be combined with Laoniuwan and the Wanjiazhai Dam as a single self-drive route.
