Day 15 - 28 Apr 2014

A easy start to the day. We drove into the countryside surrounding Yangshuo area.
We first stopped a area where they do their equivalent of white water rafting.
The traditional rafts were made of bamboo. These days they are more likely to made from PVC piping.

The White Water


Shooting the rapids

The riverside raft hiring business.



The river playground





A small village which is still farming in the traditional way




The grave of an ancestor, they are buried in their plot.




We leave the village and head back to the hotel




Another market area.



Cormorants in the water, they even caught some fish thrown to them. I must say they did not show much enthusiasm for the project. Cormorant fishing has become a tourist attraction with very few people actually plying their cormorant fishing trade
.
