A Bouyei (布依族) man in a long line of other Bouyei men and women hauls watermelons from the river to the road above. Many of these porters were in sandles, busted shoes, or barefoot. The watermelons sell for 2 yuan ($0.29) per kilogram in Guiyang.

Bouyei (布依族) women pass watermelons in a line from a boat to a truck, which will take the watermelons to Guiyang to be sold. I don't know why more of the trucks weren't down at the river like this one.

Bouyei (布依族) women unload a boat full of watermelon. The watermelons are brought downstream by boat from a Bouyei village with no road transport. There was only one guy around besides us who wasn't there for the watermelons. See if you can spot him.
