The Musician, Yangshou, China

Thursday 3rd July

Yangshou is perhaps the perfect location as a starting point for a trip through China. The region centres around the Li river with its rolling paddy fields and limestone karst mountains, a setting that could be plucked straight from a typical Chinese water colour painting. Yangshou is a tourist hotspot for the Chinese but brings travellers from further affield also.

On my last day in Yangshou I was having a drink outside a cafe bar and saw this chap busking in the street.
