Finely worked with a bustling scene of figures at the water-crossing, including an equestrian riding a mule, a peddler carrying a sack over his right shoulder, a traveller seated at the edge with hat off, a fisherman in sampan inspecting his catch, supported on two wooden posts on each side, the edges scattered with pine trees and other dense shrubs, above two rocky foundations on each side separated by the flowing river.
