It was interesting to see the farming tools and methods they used. This man is harvesting his rice field using some kind of contraption that has a foot-powered machine inside a box. Every few minutes he'd step on a lever a dozen times to get the thing working again.
We passed several old, dilapitated outhouses (small shacks with a hole in the ground), yet we found two discarded toilets by the side of the road. Luke wonders why - they are perfectly good toilets, so why aren't they using them?
Nash, Grant, Luke, and I road our bikes in the afternoon to the Dragon Cave. At the entrance, while waiting for the tour to start, the boys (and I this time) were asked to take pictures with several of the Chinese people on the tour. Luke was embarrassed that he had to sit on this lady's lap.
One popular thing to do in Yangshuo is to take a ride on a raft. 
We found a somewhat secluded valley with tall karst peaks all around us - the boys called it "Cracked Bowl."
