The riversides look awsome! If you survive a landslide into the river, there would be no easy way up again, by the looks of it. The tall and steep cliffs probably explain why there seems to be no agriculture along Yellow River (but some along the smaller side rivers). And with no agriculture, the landscape is pretty bleak. I do not quite understand, Robert, how you have managed without water refills on this longish detour. With a need for at least 3 litres of water pr day, that sounds like a big burden?
