Have you ever taken the Li River cruise in Guilin or taken the bicycle tour in Yangshuo along the Yulong River? If so, you must be familiar with the cormorants standing on the shoulders of the old fisherman. Southern China fishing with the help of cormorants is quite popular. In Yangshuo most of the fishermen now show their bird to the tourists, earning some money, when the tourists take their photos. Since ancient times in China, cormorants have been tamed and trained to catch and bring back fish to their owners. Training starts when the young birds are fully grown and feathered. One is tied by a string to a stake at the water's edge. At a whistle signal it is pushed into the water and tossed a bit of fish. Then, after a different whistle, it is pulled back and rewarded again. As soon as the bird gets the idea, live fish is used. Then it is graduated to a boat or raft and a string tied around its neck so that it cannot swallow the fish it caught. Nowadays, most cormorants are raised for show instead of fishing.

The town of Yangshuo is a backpacker's paradise. Just 65km south and over an hour south of Guilin, Yangshuo, with its natural scenery and laid back air, is a great escape from the gray and pollution of China's big cities. Set amid gorgeous limestone pinnacles, Yangshuo is a very pleasant place to relax and explore the small villages in the countryside where you still encounter strong local flavor and feel real China.

The scenery along the Li River is simply indescribable. Its sparkling waters wind between spectacular peaks, bamboo forests, and cultivated rice paddies.

As the old saying goes , "Guilin's scenery is the most beautiful in the world, Yangshuo's scenery is far more superior to that of Guilin's".

If you want you make a tour to China, and fail to pay a visit to Guilin, it is equal to having no tour to China. If you want to get something real out of it you can not but go experiencing it yourself, and you are advised not to lose the chance maybe only once of a lifetime.
