Chinese National Holiday in Yangshuo

Our family had the amazing opportunity to travel to Yangshuo last month for the week-long holiday. Brad was able to come home from Germany and join us. It was truly a remarkable place...you don't see this scenery everyday. Especially glad that David has been living with us these past 3 months and was able to experience it as well.

We ate at a farmer's restaurant right on the river....this is how they wash the dishes!

Bamboo rafting down the Yulong River...the river guides pushed us down with their poles for 2-1/2 hours!

Dragon Bridge crossing the Yulong River

Many water level changes down the river

Beautiful Kardst mountains

View from our hotel room....if you look close toward the top right of the photo you can see the "Golden Arches"!!

Walking through a small village
