Fuli Boat Trip

During our stay in Yangshuo we hired a little rickety boat to take us to a small town named Fuli. It was really nice going along the river in our loud gas powered boat. I had some doubts where this little wooden thing would get us there. Luckily, it did!

There really wasn't a lot to do in the town. Part of it looked like the buildings were on the verge of falling apart. The two interesting things about Fuli were the abundance of water buffalos and the fan factories. David and I spent a while taking photos of the water buffalos. Our tour guide must have thought we were crazy because she asked me if we had them back home.

The fan places were neat. As you walked down the street you would see large boards with silk cut into an open fan shape drying in the sun. I always wondered who made them. Now I know.
