More Yuan Yang Markets

More Yuan Yang Markets

It's raining here in Guilin - or more accurately Yang Shuo about 20 miles
down the Li River from Guilin - so today was a bit light on shooting.
Meanwhile, here are some photos taken in the markets of Yuan Yang. The
woman in the green hat is Hani, and the woman at the meat table is Zyi. Now
you know the difference.

Tomorrow, we are going to walk the banks of the Floating Lotus River, and
then photograph the cormorant fishermen at dusk. I think we are all going
to try to recreate Art's famous photograph on that subject. This may be the
last opportunity for us, or anyone to try this as the traditional fisherman
have all but disappeared from the rivers here. The area is rapidly
modernizing and the old ways of fishing no longer make economic sense - even
with the tourist interest.
