Xiazigou Bridge in the Houcheng county, Xinjiang (China)

 "Robes of snow, crests of snow, 
and beaks of azure jade,
they fish in shadowy streams.
Then startling up into
Flight, they leave emerald mountains for lit distances.
Pear blossoms, a tree-full, tumble in the evening wind."

Old chinese poem
translated by David Hinton
