Guilin, Li River Cruise
( 3rd June 2008 )
Limestone hills seen from our river boat, reminded me of Sam Poh Tong caves in Ipoh
The two hills that look like two gorillas as pointed out to us by the tour guide
Cormorants on a bamboo raft own by a fisherman who uses them to fish. The fisherman put a ring around the neck of each of the cormorant to prevent it from swallowing the catch.
A huge and beautiful limestone outcrop towering over us
Cruise boats berthed at a pier
The famous Elephant Trunk Hill (象鼻山)
The same hill and look at the floating structure in the foreground. It is a cross between a bamboo raft and a makeshift shelter complete with wooden seats
Participants practising rowing to prepare for the upcoming Dragon Boat Race competition in conjunction with the Dumpling Festival
Homes built into the limestone outcrop
Yet another nice scenery of the river
More scenery
Rival participants practising for the Dragon Boat Race
See how they practice with gusto
More practice
After a long hard day the rowers finally stop to get some rest along the river bank
