Gégōu

Gegou lies in the Yi River valley between the hill country of Yishui and the plains around Linyi. The Yi descends from the mountains to the north and flows south through this district, joined here by the Tang River. The broad valley opens out below the steep ridges of the Yimeng uplands. Villages and fields occupy the land beside the water, while the river continues onward toward the lower Huai basin.
