Here at the western border of the province and at the foot of the giant Omei Mountain, is Loshan, called Kiachow in the days of Su Tungpo. At this point the Min River flows into the Yangtse.

在此四川省西部的边界，在雄伟高耸的峨眉山麓，就是乐山，当年在苏东坡时名为嘉州，岷江就在此处流入长江。

The river was a branch of the Min River, and as Meishan lay halfway between Loshan and the capital of the province, Chengtu, travellers who wanted to go to the capital had to pass through the town.

玻璃江为岷江一支流，因眉山位于乐山与四川省会成都两地之间，凡欲赴省会之旅客，必须经过眉山。
