A drone photo taken on Oct. 13, 2024 shows a view of the confluence of the Minjiang River and Jinsha River in Yibin City, southwest China's Sichuan Province. The city of Yibin is an important ecological shelter and water source conservation base on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River, Jinsha River, and Minjiang River meet in the downtown area of Yibin.
In recent years, local government has made efforts in the improvement of ecological environment, including building ecological corridors, improving the greening along the riverside, and carrying out fishing ban in the Yangtze River. (Xinhua/Li He)
