轻舟去何疾，
已到云林境。

In Ruoye Creek

Language: English after the Chinese (中文)

The light boat moves fleetingly,
I will soon arrive at this beautiful scenery.
I sit between the fish and birds,
Looking at the change and movement of the mountains reflected in the water.

There are all kinds of sounds from the riverbank,
It is even quieter when I stop talking.
Everything here makes me feel calm,
I lower the oar, facing the sunset so that my whole body enjoys the sunset.
