| Baidi City is on the mountaintop was still swathed in red clouds when my boat sailed from the foothills early that morning I reached Jianglin City in the evening logging hundreds of miles in one day monkeys were screaming on both banks of the yangtze They never let up the whole day's travel while our frail boat dashed between a thousand mountains lining the river. |
This poem was written by Li Bai, a famous Tang Dynasty poet. It is about his trip on leaving Baidi City early in the morning, and arriving Jianglin City in the evening. Among Tang's poetry, this poem is one of the best known, particularly the last two lines.
