Li River Cruise, China


Cruising up the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo.


A scenic 52-mile journey of karst mountains, ancient villages and water buffalo with thick bamboo groves along the riverbanks.




A wizened old face of China.




The Li River fishermen use Cormorant birds that they have trained to dive and capture a fish in their gullet. The fishermen massages the bird's gullet and throat and retrieves a whole fish intact. Incredible!!
