Ginyugou Scenic Spot

We spent a Saturday at the Ginyugou, which is a few miles outside of Xi'an. The area is a gorge with a small river running through it. Large cemeteries lined the hilltops. We took a boat ride down the river and ended up at a bamboo forest that we walked through. The towns people make money through farming and providing snacks and boat rides to the small groups of tourists who find their way to Ginyugou.

These boats were all welded by hand.

We drove down the dirt road to get to the 

bottom of the gorge. The yellow flowers in the 

distance are pressed to make a cooking oil called

fragrant flower oil.

Through the haze aka pollution you can see

Xi'an in the distance.
