I put down bay because that is the meaning of 湾, unless it is a typo for 弯 (bend). By definition, bay is a recess or inlet in the shore of a sea or lake between two capes or headlands, not as large as a gulf but larger than a cove (http://www.stripers247.com/glossary.htm). You can definitely say that an xxx (building/structure) is located at the bay. I even live in the 'Bay Area'. A few examples of 'river bays'.

| Grading comment I choose Pei Ling Haubecker's version for the following reason: 1) 'Bay' is commonly used to refer to the bend of rivers. 2) The Yellow river in Qinghai looks 'winding', that is 'following a curve', and 'zigzag' indicates a sharp turning and, that is not the case.
I believe I can live on this banquet of beatiful sentences Yang, Haubecker and Ting. Thank you all.

Asker: Thanks.
Asker: Pei Ling Haußecker, very good translation, as I see, except for 'bay', does it mean an area of lake or sea enclosed by shore? Can it apply to river?
