Even without the boat tour, the scenery is great

On Wednesday, we walked into the small city of Yangshuo itself. Very much a tourist town, but kinda fun to wander around. 

And it's located right at the end of the section of the Li River where they normally do the boat cruises from Guilin.

I haven't been able to find anything online that specifically says the cruises have been suspended, but none of the local boats in this are on the water at all, so they have to be suspended.

Scenery along the way.

These are one of the types of rafts they use for tours of the local area.

The Li River at Yangshuo.

Look at all of the smaller boats that would normally be on the river.

This is normally an island, not just bushes sticking up out of the water.

We found a place that does fresh fruit cups.

We got an extra large to go! 

Popular tourist pedestrian area.

We found a sheltered spot to wait out this rain storm for an hour.

Coffee cup spilling flowers.

Parked tour boats waiting for the waters to recede.

All dressed up and ready for an Instagram moment.

We've accepted the fact that we won't be doing the boat tour that was the reason we came to the area. But now that we've seen how things work, we've decided that there's enough to see without doing it from the river. You'll get more examples of this in tomorrow's blog post!
