Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

We were having a boat ride in Lijiang River, Guilin, Guangxi Province, China. There was a lady paddling across the river trying to approch our boat. She came with a bird which was called "Lu Ci" in Chinese, it ate fish for food and has huge beak. She charged 2 RMB for taking a picture with the bird, which was what she did for a living. In the picture, there is a contrast between the immense turist attraction and this Chinese lady, she seemed so small, which indicates she made little money in a humble way in this big wild world. This picture reflects Chinese villager's hard life.
