China Stamps - 2004-7, Scott 3353 The Nanxi River - Mini Sheet - MNH, F-VF : The Nanxi River, the largest branch at the lower reaches of the Oujiang River, is located in Yongjia, Zhejiang province. It got its name from the nanmu trees growing along the river in ancient times. The wide river slowly meanders its way for more than 100 kilometers, flanked by undulating mountains, riverside woods, grotesque rocks and age-old villages on both sides. The water is so clear that you can even see the pebbles on the riverbed and fish swimming. The quiet, graceful reflections on the river make it as beautiful as a scroll of painting. At sunset, the river rings with fishermen's songs and is decorated with lights from fishing boats. The enchanting scenes on the river have inspired countless man to write in its praise since ancient times.
