[Listen to audio]
By nightfall you began to tie the boat,
At the old ferry pier in yellow reed marshes,
The resident sea-gulls knew how to give way to guests,
By flying over to Liao Huazhou.
The boat docked at an old ferry station and disturbed the sleep of a bunch of water birds. The birds simply moved on to another spot and left the station for the boat. What a harmonious scene.
