Rafts traversing the Yulong River, China. 2013.
This photo was taken in the early afternoon as I stood on the 600-year-old stone Dragon Bridge that crosses Yulong River, south of Yangshuo in Guangxi province, China. On the background the Guilin hilly landscape. What made the moment so memorable was the contrast between the toil of the countryside compared with the holiday atmosphere of Dragon Bridge, and the brilliant colours of the bamboo rafts.
The prevailing feature of the Yulong River Scenic Area is undoubtedly its pure, natural beauty. There are no motorized boats on the river, and few cars drive on the road. There’s an overwhelming sense of calm and tranquility as the river moves at a lazy pace.
