Beyond the mist and cliffs: Intl guests captivated in Wujiang

Enthralled by the picturesque surroundings, the guests began singing and dancing on the boat, creating a joyful atmosphere as the vessel glided through the gorge.

Along the way, they encountered other boats with local residents greeting them with traditional folk songs in an impromptu exchange. Through duige, an antiphonal singing style common in the region, the locals on the two boats shared melodies that echoed across the river, turning the moment into a spontaneous cultural interaction.

Visitors said they were deeply impressed not only by the natural beauty of the gorge but also by the warmth of the local people and the rich folk traditions of the region. For the international guests, the journey offered a memorable blend of scenery, music and cultural exchange.
