Fengs, Curves, Cities, and Countrysides in China

Sometimes it pays to hire a private driver instead of just hopping on the bus.⁠

For example, while traveling in China, I really wanted to photograph some of the cities along the Li River.⁠

Bending and curving like a snake, the Li River cuts across the Guangxi region’s towering peaks (called Fengs, in Mandarin).⁠

While it’s easy to get to and from the bigger cities (like Yangshou), public transportation does not stop at any of the lookout points along the way.⁠

Fortunately, I treated myself to a taxi and paid extra for the driver to stop at all his favorite photo spots. ⁠

Why figure it out myself when someone else can make my life that much easier!
