Yellow Cloth Shoal

Yellow Cloth Shoal Traveling downriver along Li River, about 0.5 km (0.3 mile) from Mural Hill you will see Yellow Cloth Shoal. A large cream-colored flagstone lies under the water, looking like a piece of new yellow cloth extended on the riverbed. This is how Yellow Cloth Shoal got its name.

On the hill which is situated on the east bank, there is a stone looking like a monkey holding a watermelon. Next is a bear lying on its back. On the west bank, you will see a stone in the shape of a woman holding a baby in her arms. This scene is called Lady-in-waiting Holding the Crown Prince.

On both sides of the shoal stand seven elegant peaks, which are of different height and size. They were named 'Seven Fairy Maidens Descending to the World'. Legend goes that the seven fairy maidens traveled to Li River and were deeply attracted by the unique scenery. They lingered with no thought of leaving, even though the annoyed Jade Emperor ordered them to return to heaven. However, they preferred to turn themselves into mountain peaks than to obey the order.

On a fine and windless day, the reflections of the seven peaks are so vivid that you may not tell the real peaks by the river from the reflections in the water. You will experience the feeling that you are sailing on the top of the peaks. However, not everybody is lucky enough to enjoy this enthralling sight, for on a wet day, the reflection will be broken up by the raindrops while on a foggy day, the reflections will be shrouded in mist.

The best time to enjoy the reflections is when the yacht travels to the bends at Leech Shoal. This is the very place from where the background design on the CNY 20 bank note originates, so remember to take out your note and make a comparison!
