Yunlong Natural Taiji Diagram
天然太极图
The Bi River forms a large S-shaped bend north of the county seat; seen from the viewpoint, the landscape looks like a natural Taiji diagram.
The Yunlong Natural Taiji Diagram lies about 1 kilometre north of the county seat, where the Bi River, a tributary of the Lancang, meanders into a large S-shaped bend. The mountains and fields on either side form near-perfect yin and yang halves, and the site is called a 'wonder of the world.' The viewpoint is on the mountain west of the Bi River, along the winding road from the county seat to Tianchi Lake, at an altitude of about 1,980 metres. Admission is free. It is most beautiful early in the morning when clouds drift over the valley. It is less than 3 kilometres from Nuodeng Ancient Village, about 10-plus minutes by car or chartered vehicle.
