Early Departure from Bai Di City – Li Bai

Early morn I leave Bai Di , amidst the colored clouds of dawn
A thousand li of hills and rivers in one day – still moving on.
As I passed by the river’s banks the monkeys’ calls rang far and wide.
My skiff sailed past ten thousand mountains more before their echoes died.
