Route Introduction

 

The Zengwen River Sub-streams

   The mainstream and tributaries of upstream the Zengwen River flow through the Yujing Basin, and the flat terrain of the basin causes curved flow. After leaving the Yujing Basin, the River flows into the southwest mud and rock area, which is the so- called bad terrain. Due to the soft mud and rock texture, the slope on both banks of the river is vulnerable to erosion, the river is easily diverted and the curved flowing terrain is commonly observed. The Zengwen River mainstream river channel originally flows northeast-southwest, but five twists of the curved terrain appear from Yujing to Danei.

   The Danei District is located at the junction of the Jianan Plain and the mountainous area, with the Zengwen River flowing through the area, and there are three big bends in Erxi, Mingtou, and Toushe, because of the cutting of the mountains by the Zengwen River, there is a significant badland terrain formed on the concave bank, and the convex surface forms a river step-terrace. In the early days, to enter Danei, it was necessary to cross the Zengwen River twice, so it was also called “Erchong Creek.”
