The following three videos are from our hike through the rural area between Yangding and Qingping near Yangshuo. We took a bus to Yangding, a bamboo boat several miles down river, then hiked about two and a half hours to Qingping, looked around a bit, and took a bus back to Yangshuo for dinner.
Cory being weird.
It's a guy. And he fishes with birds. The guy uses Cormorants to do his fishing for him. Apparently this is really common among fishermen in the area. They tie a string around the bird's neck to be able to pull it in and so it can't fully swallow the fish it catches, then they make it spit the fish back out and send it out to catch more fish. The birds get fed at the end of the night.
Choreographed and directed by Chinese film director (and local) Johnny Mo, the local farmers, fishermen, schoolchildren and theater students put on this show every night. Next to the spectacular nature itself, this river show is THE best attraction in the area. These two videos can't possibly do it justice, but we took them anyway, so here they are.
