River Li Boat-trip
So we did take the boat trip. But we paid the extra and went with the hostel, for peace of mind.
The jetty was about 1 hour 40 mins minibus drive from the hostel (stopping now and then to pick up Chinese passengers, who, for a fiver, could be dropped off en route) and we clambered off, stiff and complaining about mid-morning in a small farming village by the river.
The famous bamboo boat was mostly made from metal and hard-wood planks, from what I could see, but there were token efforts at bamboo, which harkened back to the traditional fishing boats they were supposed to be. Having seen the traditional boats (and bamboo boat is a description, not a name), I was rather grateful for these more sturdy affairs.
We got on board - 6 to a boat, plus luggage for those who were staying at our destination - and sailed down the River Li to Yangshou.
Sounds simple, and the journey was. It was, however, also breathtakingly stunning. The river is surrounded...
