Nice time to do Li River Cruise or bamboo rafting on the sunny days. Fruits are harvested now, so we can take a bike to nearby town at the market day and buy some green and juicy fruits.

Yangshuo Fishing Festival is another big event. Cormorant fishing and fireworks are the highlights. In ancient Yangshuo, fishermen made living by cormorant fishing. When night falls, they lighted the torches, took their bamboo raft with their cormorants to Li River to catch fish. Hundreds of fishermen worked as a team and torches brighten the Li River. With the development of modern fishing methods, cormorant fishing is going to disappear. The government held this festival from 1999 to protect this tradition.
