Traditional cormorant fishing can be watched in China and Japan. In Guilin, China, cormorant birds are especially famous for fishing on the shallow Lijiang River. Fishermen on bamboo rafts use strong lights suspended over the water to attract the fish. The cormorants, which are tethered with metal rings round the base of their necks, catch the fish and then disgorge them for the fishermen. The ring is just large enough to let small fish through, but too small to let a bird swallow any fish of the size that fishermen need.
In Yangshou, Guilin cormorant fishing is a special tourist attraction which should not be missed.
They are some minority show in Guilin and Yangshuo, the most famous one is the Impression of Sanjieliu, Dream Like Li River and Dragon´s Nationality.
