A day as a tourist at the Yellow River

Posted by Robert in Along the Great Wall, Walking the Great Wall

I decided to do something completely different today, and went to the Yellow River stone forest of Gansu. It was good fun to do something completely different. Am really tired now, so will update this tomorrow with some pictures of the events from today.

Dipping my feet in the Yellow river. The colour comes from the loess in the ground. About 10 to 20 percent of the volume is in fact mud.

Find yourself 14-15 sheep, slaughter them without cutting their skins, and tie the ends with rope. A little wooden frame, and hey presto you have yourself a sheepskin raft!
