At 5:58... This is a statue of Shiva holding baby Ganesha on his lap with Ganeha's mother Parvati. The statues head is broken off. Ganesha is one of several water gods Hindus worship. I croped and enlarged photo of statue on rock and then search on web for similar statue. Near end of video I see the Chinese statues you're talking about. I thought you were talking about 5:58...

You are on an ancient temple/castle which went through a mega disaster, most likely a huge volcano eruption. There's chambers beneath which links to neighboring mountains.

It's a river that's seen continual human habitation for over five thousand years. For at least 2,000 of those years it has been not just populated, but densely populated. Hard not to have trash in a river through a populated area, let alone in an area that has seen this much activity for so many years. Makes me jealous. If I go to the big river I live nearby here in the states, I'm only looking at just over 200 years of activity, and only 100 or so of dense population.
