Yangdi Town -
the highlight of Li River cruise
Yangdi Town is located among an array
of rolling hills. It is home to many famous scenic
spots including the Gong-Drum shoal (Luogutan),
White Tiger Hill (Baihushan) and the Yangdi Water-fall.
Down stream from Yangdi to Xingping,
the river passes an endless procession of distinct
peaks, bamboo groves and the stunning landscape.
This part is the highlight of the Li River cruise.
Pinnacled peaks pop up and surprise visitors at
each bend of the river. Water buffalos patrol
on the fields. Ducks paddle in the waters while
peasants reap paddies in front of village houses.
Fishermen use the cormorants to catch the fish
and return them to the boat and kids go home singing
songs. All these create an idyllic and beautiful
scene of the life removed from concrete cities.
In the southeast of Yangdi County
lies a village where the reflections of the rolling
hills are like waves, so it is called Langshi
Village. The local people live mostly by fishing.
One of their methods of fishing is to train cormorants
to catch fish.
