This photo taken on June 20, 2023 shows tourists riding a rubber boat in Shigu Town of Lijiang City, southwest China's Yunnan Province. Shigu Town of Yulong County is located by a huge bend of the Jinsha River, the upper section of the Yangtze River in southwest China. The footprints of the Red Army are forever engraved in the town's culture and spirits. The Central Yunnan Water Diversion Project, a national key project for water conservancy, is under construction and is expected to benefit more people after completion. Generations of locals have worked hard to plant willows along the river to protect water, soil and the ecological environment. By the river thrives a new Shigu Town. (Xinhua/Zhang Cheng)
