Starting from Great Stream (KI-3) (refer to "Great Stream"), measure upwards along the Great Stream (KI-3)-Yin Valley (KI-10) (refer to "Yin Valley") line by two horizontal fingers (the width of the thumb), then measure another four horizontal fingers, and at the same time, measure two horizontal fingers from the posterior side of the tibia, the intersection of these two measurements, where pressing induces a sensation of soreness and swelling, is the location of this acupoint.
