Besides their obvious value of monetary, they all carry their own cultural value as well.
You may have seen this kind of photo before：an old fisherman with a long white beard and a bamboo that can be seen standing with cormorants（鸬鹚）on a boat. He became famous among the most well-known features of the Lijiang River in Guilin. Many people believed the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan renminbi banknote was based on his image.
For example, on the back of the 5-yuan banknote is Taishan Mountain in Shandong. For thousands of years, many emperors would go there and pray for the country's prosperity（繁荣）. On the back of the 1-yuan banknote are the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon at the West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Since ancient times, the location has been a great attraction for moon watchers during Mid-Autumn Festival.
According to the News, fisherman Huang's life shows the true spirit of the Lijiang River in Guilin, Guangxi. He was a positive and kind man. In his 90s, Huang could still move his boat with great agility（敏捷）.
The image of the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan banknote is not just about one man, but instead stands on its own as a unique cultural symbol of the Lijiang River. It is a symbol that makes the Guilin landscape what it is, commented Guangming Daily.
In fact, the different backsides of the fifth kinds of Renminbi banknotes show the most typical landscapes in the country.
The Renminbi pictures have helped make these classic Chinese landscapes even more popular among tourists. Many love to find out where the picture were originally taken. For example, Pan Jinyu from Chongqing went on a "banknote tour" of China, appreciating all the sights presented on Renminbi banknotes of the fifth kinds from 1 yuan to 100. "I want to finish ceremonial（有仪式感的）journey and feel the beauty of our country".
