This Man Walks On WaterIn a small village in Zhejiang province, you might find Fang Shuyun floating on the river, balancing delicately on a single thin piece of bamboo. The locals call him the Water Ghost.

I posted this a couple of years ago, from someone else who took drone shots around the Yulin prefecture.

Yulin is a prefecture of around 7 million people. Yulin city, where we live, has around 1 million people. The footage from 05:55 on is mostly from our city.

Wikipedia says this about his title screen (he uses the Chinese characters for the old name)

Wikipedia said:

Its Chinese name was changed in 1956 from the historical name 鬱林 (pinyin: Yùlín; literally: "Dense Forest"), which only sounds the same in Mandarin as the current one, but very different in the local dialect of Yue Chinese; 鬱 is uat˥ while 玉 is ȵok˨.
The present name is 玉林 Yùlín; literally: "Jade Forest".

With a total length of 31 meters, it is the biggest half body reclining Buddha statue in the world, and the revival process will take more than 10 years.

Feel the might of the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan

 . . . but turn the volume down first!

 

From our visit there - the water was higher, enough that the "Tiger Leaping" rock only made VERY brief appearances - Dali and Tiger Leaping Gorge

From the way the water is flowing, it looks like the brick wall was intended to divert floodwaters AROUND the building.

China's last cave dwellers lives in Zhongdong, Guizhou province. The only link to the outside world is over a mountain footpath — a brisk one-hour hike through a steep valley.
