Every turn presented a different scene
Up river traffic was only small rafts
Crows are large and black and white
Each set of spires have names depicting their formation
Can you see figures in these monoliths?
Every crevice has brush and trees growing from them
Wild mountain goats
The river flow was gentle
Calm in the shallows
Hazy mist hung low all day
Mountain goat
Still watching for bird life
Limestone stalagtites
Old houseboat
Large bamboo
Washing things the hard way
Villages built along the riverbanks
YangDi scenery
A place to launch rafts
Place to wash
The spires go on and on
On both banks
Hidden villages behind the mountains
Each scene was different
Famous spots in the river
These looked like dog ears
A set of caves
Raft landing
Serene setting
Going down in silence
Following the convoy
Best viewing was from the top deck
Although it was cold
Crow
A family way of life
Very shallow in parts
Shrouded in haze
Very mysterious
Many steep peaks
Spires and towers
Going slowly
Watching the banks
Every corner, a scene of serenity
Bamboo grows wild
Bill enjoying the ride
Yes, it was that cold
Peaks in danger of falling
There has to be more birds to see
Could be Five Fingers Hill?
So many rafts….must be a tourist spot
Rafts with fishermen and cormorants
Scenic cruising
A perfect scene
Workers fixing a spire that is disintegrating
Raft supplies
Tall, but falling apart
Crow
Best way to see the river
Odd scenes
Many peaks
Mostly uninhabitable
Feather-like bamboo
Riverboat racing
Locals playing cards inside the boat
The haze never lifted
This time of year, the weather is cool
Getting towards the end
Wide banks, but shallow
Workers on their way to the job
Steep place to work
This waterfall roars during monsoon season (summer)
The banks would be underwater
Rafts – the ones that cost $2000 USD
Raft racing
Onward
We go
Sailing down the river
But not on a sunny afternoon
The sun may come out another time of year
Fall colors are spectacular, we heard
River can turn green in color
Local family posing – great color
Spires and peaks
Bamboo was pretty
Peaks go on…..
