before it pours into the Irrawaddy at Bhamo of Burma. Lt
finally empties into the Bay of Bengal of Indian Ocean.
The Daying River is a tropical river running through ravines.
It consists of two sections with quite different Landscapes
respectively. On the riverbank of the Yingjiang section,
green and Luxuriant banian trees Look like umbrellas; in
the distance where the water seems to meet the sky, bamboos
seem to be growing in the water. At the end of the river
the Daying River reaches "the Tiger -Jumping Rocks''.
There are quite a few natural landscapes and historical
relics. The most typical are as follows: the national preservation
unit "the Official Residence of the Nandian Chief Administrator'',
the relics where the world-famous "Margary Incident''took
place, the Yunyan Southern Buddhist Pagoda, the Tiger -Jumping
