Below is an article describing the Jiuxi River in Dingnan County, Jiangxi:

On a bright spring day, along the banks of the Jiuxi River, the mountains dance and the waters sing joyfully. The beautiful Jiuxi River opens its warm embrace, cheerfully welcoming guests from all directions. The riverbanks are bustling with crowds, and machines roar to life. The mountains bow low, the waters make way. High gorges give rise to serene lakes, and pearls of light dot both shores. Three hydroelectric stations—the Jiuxi, Changtan, and Zhuantang power stations—have been built along the Jiuxi River. “A bridge flies across north and south, turning a natural barrier into a thoroughfare.” The Changfu, Pinggang, Changtan, and Chayuanshan bridges have built golden pathways for the local people toward prosperity. The Jiuxi River connects to Guangdong, where bamboo rafts once floated down to Laolong (the county seat of Longchuan in Guangdong). In the past, when land routes were difficult and transport was limited, traveling to and from Guangdong relied solely on bamboo rafts and wooden boats—a thing of the past. The Beijing-Kowloon Railway, the Dingguang Highway, and the Gan-Guang Expressway now connect the once-isolated mountain villages with the vibrant outside world. The flow of vehicles, people, and goods is as constant as the currents of the Jiuxi River. The Jiuxi Resort has gained widespread fame. Renowned singers—[names omitted] and Yan Weiwen performed at the “Jiuxi Sentiment Grand Concert,” singing “Jiuxi Sentiment,” which resounded across the nation. Exotic flowers from both the mountains and beyond gathered at the Jiuxi Resort, while distinctive fish fry from all over the country found a home in the Jiuxi River. Red carp, white carp, black carp, and grass carp swim and play in the clear waters. Bamboo rafts drift like wild ducks across mirror-like lakes, while motorboats dart across the surface like fishing eagles. Beautiful Hakka girls row boats and splash in the water, causing the fish—like shy maidens—to wag their tails and slip into deep pools and grassy thickets. Take a glance at the Hakka girls dressed in vibrant reds and greens—oh, how fresh and pretty they are, truly with beauty so stunning it could stun fish and charm the moon… The Jiuxi Resort is surrounded by picturesque scenery. Verdant bamboo and graceful willows line the area. Each bamboo leaf kisses the lake’s surface, and the shimmering ripples seem to dance lightly to soft melodies. Green mountains on both sides reflect in the rippling waters. Unique pavilions and bamboo houses offer distinctive charm, allowing visitors to enjoy horse riding and boating. With such beautiful mountains, waters, and scenery, visitors flock here and find it hard to leave. The Jiuxi River Hotel serves delicious river fish—such authentic, rich flavors you’d never taste in the city. The Jiuxi River’s yellow wine is sweet and aromatic, leaving you enchanted. Oh, the clear Jiuxi River brews jars upon jars of fine liquor and also brews a sweet and prosperous life for the people on both banks. The ever-flowing Jiuxi River brings boundless vitality and a continuous flow of wealth to the people on either shore.
