The cormorant fisherman is a feature of the Li River and other rivers near Guilin in China.
The shack on the landing is a fuel depot for the longboats of the community. What I still fund curious is that ‘Slow Down’ is written in English. I only ever saw locals driving boats on the rivers. Maybe they determined ‘Melambatkan’ wouldn’t fit in large enough letters to be visible until it was too late.

Through my contacts in Brunei, I had everything arranged for me in advance so my boat changes were planned and I was expected.
