Cormorant fishing is a traditional life style for the fisherman of the Li River.
This art is still practiced today among the fishermen who 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.
