Zhuang Fisherman lighting his lantern on a bamboo raft. Cormorant fishing is a traditional life style for the fishermen of the Li River. This art is still practiced today among the few fishermen who still dwell on the Li and earn their living from fishing. The cormorants are trained to dive into the river among the school of fish that live in the clear water. After catching a fish the birds return to the boat where the fisherman removes the fish from the bird. The bird is prevented from swallowing the fish by a ring that is placed around the neck of the bird. The bird is rewarded for its work by its owner. A bamboo raft used by the cormorant fisherman is made by tying bamboo poles together. It is also the most economical means of transportation for the fisherman. The light of the lantern attracts the fish.

Li River right before the typhoon warning and mandatory evacuation

Cormorant fishing is a centuries-old practice that involves training cormorants to dive into the river to catch fish. The fishermen stand on bamboo rafts with their cormorants, and when they signal the birds, they dive into the water. The cormorants have a ring around their necks to prevent them from swallowing large fish. When they catch a fish, they keep it in their mouth and return to the boat, where the fisherman removes it.
