The local folks' daily lives revolve around the river - washing clothes, fishing etc.

The water wheel at the middle of the river is quite a landmark.

If u bring along your other half, they will have lots of things to buy. The ethnic minority tribes are good at making jewellery and handicrafts.

An unusual stone carving. I think during heavy rains, the water comes out from the dragon's mouth.

Luckily our local friend came to the rescue explaining: "Ah Yee, it's okay. They are just dumb tourists from Malaysia..."
