Our boat to YanShuo left at 9:00, so we needed to wake up somewhat early. We ate some noodles typical of Guilin, and met up with a French couple going up the river as well. By 9:30 were on our boat ride up the LiJiang.
The boat ride was overall quite beautiful. Although the river is somewhat polluted (as could be seen by trash floating down it), the hills are quite amazing. The Chinese Goverment must have thought so as well, the back of the 20yuan note is of the river and hills (and I have a picture of it now too). By 12:30 we had arrived in YanShuo, a highly tourist city nestled in the hills. There were only a few things we indended to do, so we decided to go slow for the rest of the day. We sat by the river chatting for quite some time, and eventually grabbed our books and headed to a cafe. We were in bed by 23:00, ready for a big next day.
