Guangxi- Along the Yulong River

Guangxi- Along the Yulong River

( 4th June 2008 )


This is the Yu Long  ( 遇龙) River which is a major tributary of the famous Li River (漓江).
Along the way to the river we saw many westerners and many are living in Yangshuo (阳朔) and according to the tourist guide, most of them are married to local Chinese women. At night, West Street in Yangshuo is jam-packed with foreigners.


 


 

A cormorant lying in wait for a fish



Looks like fishes are hard to come by today. Might as well give myself a good preening while waiting.



The Pagoda Hill along the river



Another shot of the Pagoda Hill



The Pagoda Hill from another angle



One of those scenes that are popular with watercolourists



The tuft of bamboo is so pleasing to the eyes



Wish I could keep my eyes fixed on this tuft of bamboo for eternity



The scenery towards the evening, it's so misty and serene



The setting sun is partially blocked by the thick mist, just alluring




Looks more like a watercolour painting instead of a photograph




So captivating



Dusk is approaching and the mist is coming in



A lone fisherman on his bamboo raft



A fleet of bamboo rafts berthed along the bank of the Yu Long river



Tourists on a sheltered bamboo raft




Looks like the red bull energy drink has finally come to town


Ballooning is very popular among the western tourists
