On the Boat


The boat to Yangshou was great fun! It went from raining cats and water bufflow to sunny and perfect. The scenery was stupendus and the steamed rice a hit with the under 4 set. The river is lined with amazing bamboo plants. They are huge and bushy. Apparently some muckity muck in the govt was vistiting the river in the 70's and thought that it would be so much nice with some bamboo along the banks. Well that was all it took another imense Chinese project begun. The trip took about 4 hours and the bamboo on both sides never thinned.
The second photo is the kitchen of another boat that passed us. All open to the river and a bunch of kitchen staff siting around enjoying the view. Just like in Troncones!
