Yellow Cloth Shoal

 

After passing Mural Hill, one arrives at the Yellow Cloth Shoal by boating downstream along Li River. The cliffs become steeper while the water become wider and calmer here. The water is so limpid that a broad flagstone, yellow in color, flat in form could be seen on the riverbed, resembling a yellow cloth spreading there. Hence the name Yellow Cloth Shoal. It is the best place to view the reflection of peaks in water.

On both sides of the shoal, there are seven peaks in various gestures and sizes rising straight from the river, elegant and graceful, resembling seven elegant girls. Imaginative people give them a beautiful name "Seven Celestial Sisters Coming Down to Earth." It was said that seven fairies once traveled Li River. Attracted by the enthralling scenery, they forgot to return. When the god asked them to return, they, against the God's order, changed themselves into peaks and rested there forever.

Enticing as the reflections are, not all visitors have the luck to fully enjoy them. In rainy days, the reflections are smashed by the raindrop and in foggy days, they are blurred by the mist. Only in sunny days, the reflection is best legible and visitors can fully enjoy the reflection there.
