CORMORANTS FISHING IN GUILIN

The Chinese have used trained cormorants to fish the rivers and lakes for centuries. Visitors previously were able to see and photograph these birds and their owners fishing for free. No more, we had to pay to see a special demonstration of their fishing skills coupled with some singing from bamboo raft guide.
Yulong River, where the optional cormorants fishing package is located.

Bamboo rafts with seating for 8 await the tourists.

The real stars.
Symbiotic relationship.
