Yellow River

In the middle of the day, we went to the Yellow River, Huang He, and crossed to both sides by little speed boats. The river was shallow at this time of the season with more of a brown hue color than yellow. Apparently for Chinese people, going to the river is a religious and cherished experiences for them. The river was fairly wide and is one of the five longest rivers in the world, I believe. Fisherman and boatmen live along the river with their tents in a simplistic manner. The boat ride was nice because it allowed me to see the countryside on a sunny day, let the wind blow through my hair, and breathe fresh air. Farm land lined the road leading to the river and the sky seemed to large and open when compared to metropolitan cities.
