May 29th: Day cruise to Yangshuo

This area is famous for the scenery of River Li cruise. In fact it appears on their 20 Yuan Bank Note.



So today we cruise the river to Yangshuo to experience it ourselves


After a short drive we get to the River Li and setoff on our cruise. The river is quite busy with a mixture of tourist boats and very basic working boats. It is raining and misty but that seems to make it even more spectacular.






It doesn't take long before we are sailing between the mystical mountains.

















The bank notes did not lie, the scenery was spectacular and unique.
The mist starts to clear as we approach Yangshuo.
