In
Xingping, we also experienced Bamboo rafting on the Li River. This is a test of
balancing on the rickety bamboo float and well as strength to push the raft
with a bamboo pole. The scenery here is breathtaking.
In the
evening, we watched the renowned “Impression Liu Sanjie” directed by famous Zhang
Yimou. The show uses the beautiful Li River and landscape of Guilin as the
backdrop and the casts of six hundred of locals. It depicts local ethnic
culture, life of fishermen and the story of Liu Sanjie. This director is famous
for the use of mass displays of people and colours in natural setting.
