Mini Three Gorges

In Wushan, we got off the cruise liner to explore a Yangtze tributary, the Daning River, first by ferry,

and then by a convoy of sampans,

down an even smaller tributary.

We saw monkeys clambering around a cave,

gorgeous waterfalls,

goats,

several hanging coffin caves (one occupied), and locals serenading the tourists.

Lois reports that this river was only a few meters wide and the entire thing had to be traversed by sampan when they were here 7 years ago. I wonder where the monkeys moved?
