Second boat trip... this one had a motor.

For all those visiting southern China, Yangshou, right south of Guilin (skip Guilin), is a small and wonderous place that must be seen!

Did a plug for The North Face on the Great Wall, now I have to do one for Birkenstock on the Lijiang River in Yangshou.

Stayed in the boat most of the time, even when we were pushed over small dams by the oarsmen while bracing ourselves in our chairs. However, this dam seemed a little bit too high to stay on the boat and keep dry.

This foot stool had a habit of floating away when we crossed dams...
