Cormorant Fishing – fishing with cormorants is an ancient tradition still practiced today. As the sun sets, fishermen light their lanterns and set off on rafts made of bamboo. The cormorants are fitted with a noose around their neck to prevent them from swallowing the catch. The birds dive for fish attracted to the light, capture them in their beaks and return to their owners raft. The noose is removed and the cormorants are allowed to eat once the night’s fishing is completed.
