Zhangjiajie boat trip

Our final morning in the Zhanjaijie Mountains and we are going on a boat trip. Of course we had to catch a shuttle bus to get there, then a short queue and on to our boat.


Once we were on the electric powered boat it was very peaceful and we soon passed a traditional Tujia style boat complete with a handsome young man singing to us.

He ended with a yodel like flourish and we all yodelled back. I assume that he then sat back down and played a game on his phone until the next boat went past.

His quiet colleague also looked the part.

Two minutes later we approached a traditional fisherman with his cormorants. Exactly on que one of the cormorants dived and caught a big fish.


Was that an amazing sight or perhaps it was a stunt fish?

More lovely views of the mountains and traditional houses.


Then a boat with a beautiful young lady singing to us.


I was genuinely disappointed that the cruise had ended, although there was just time for one last song from the lady who took our tickets.

Back on the bus and to a waterfall. 


Finally we drove to the airport to catch our flight to Shanghai.
