More information:

Boats used for travel up and down the scenic Lijiang River, the site for the photo used on the back of the 20 yuan note. Surrounded by karst hills and small family gardens, the area is great for both hiking and river cruises. These boats, however, are a nuisance that detracts from this otherwise beautiful locale. With outboard motors replacing paddles, these imitation bamboo rafts create a constant industrial-level humming machine noise that can be heard way back into the surrounding hills.
