Travel Haiku - Cruise To Yangshuo (China) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Cruise to Yangshuo
cormorants has caught me too
with their fishing skills

The cruise down the Li River from the city of Guilin to the town of Yangshuo offers a glimpse into rural Chinese life. Watch locals fish with cormorants in a landscape of brilliant green rice paddies and mist-ensconced limestone karsts. Discover that Yangshuo is China's hub of adventure sports, a true backpacker's town. Mountain bike along rice paddies and past water buffalo to Moon Hill, where some of the 300 climbs in the area offer unparalleled views of the karsts and patchwork farmland below.
