This is another view of the steep sided gorges of the Shennong Xi, an amazingly untouched landscape leading towards the Yangzi River. The boatmen here are locals who, i presume, made their living doing such work. China, 2008.
The boat people of the Shennong Xi make a hasty exit after delivering us boat to the quayside at the entrance to the Shennong Xi tributary. I can barely imaging earning a living in this way, but we were in central China, which truly did seem like another world at times. Amazing to experience it. 2008.
This barge was spotted docked along the nearshore of the Shennong Xi, a largish tributary of the Yanzgi River during a day trip excursion from out tour of the Three Gorges. China, 2008.
