China 26th December 2017 to 1st January 2018 - Day 3

Day 3

First stop is using cormorant birds to fish. Knowing what it is all about we do not want to witness it so we stayed ashore.

Disembarkation point

Riding the bamboo rafts

A clump of honey comb.

The next destination is the Silver Caves, a 2km long cave with lots of descend and ascend, not recommended for the unfit.

Another sneak shot

Funny statues show casing richness

Vendors along the way

Tourist attraction is graded with A's

Entrance to the cave

A taro like stone                                                                                   A wine cellar

Cave roof

Beautiful

Spectacular

Stalactites and stalagmites

It was a tiring 2 km walk and I actually came out sweating. Next destination is Green Lotus Peak.

Off season river cruise boats berthed for maintenance due to low river water level.

A view

More climbing

Nice view

A very old pagoda, lots of story about it which I did not understand.

Used to be a temple.
