Cormorant Guy

An image of the old cormorant fisherman down by the river in Yangshuo...

Have you read the classic children's book about Ping, a little duck who lives on a boat on the Yangtze River? When Ping strays from his boat, he meets strange dark birds who dive for fish that they bring back to their master. Cormorants! These fisherman still exist in Yangshuo and you can go out on a boat and watch them work with their birds. For 2 RMB you could pose with a fisherman and his cormorants, which we did, but I think this picture just of him is pretty cool.
