The cormorant fisherman is a feature of the Li River and other rivers near Guilin in China.
I still find myself amazed at the stability of the bamboo rafts used in China such as this one being used by a man harvesting river weed.
Since it’s December 3rd, I thought I’d post my 3rd Li River Scene from near Guilin in China.
The fan salesman was just one of many river vendors who drew up alongside our boat was we cruised the Li River near Guilin, China.
Back in October I posted a series of images from a street theater that I happened across while wandering the streets at night. I came back around the following day, later in the afternoon to find the stage abandoned. The players had moved on and taken their sets with them.
This overhang in the limestone rack face was a significant swift nesting site. Out of harvesting season, there was no one working on this day. Bird’s nest harvesting is a regulated industry and there were signs above the jetty here warning trespassers off. All the bamboo poles you can see here are used by the harvesters to reach the rock ceiling where the swifts build their nests.
