The pressing green, chirping birdsong, and ethereal water sounds rush toward you with the wild wind of the gorge, soaking into every inch of your skin. Sunlight slips down through ancient vines covered with halberd-shaped leaves, suddenly struck by jutting cliff stones, twisting through lush branches and leaves, leaping like ancient coins on the river that is so green it seems blue, shining with an ancient luster. Beaches, pebbles, mugwort, cattails, fishing songs, and the wild-flowing water all remind you in the simplest and most direct way: get on the rubber boat and drift toward mystery, toward places your thoughts have not yet reached.
