The artificial bamboo
The Li River is 164 kilometers long and is known primarily for its karst mountains, which can be admired while sailing on boats. In the olden days, bamboo boats roamed the river, and to this day only the name has remained, because instead of bamboo, PVC pipes are used, painted to resemble this wood.
Another dying tradition of the Li River is fishing with cormorants. The cormorants have special hoops on their necks that prevent them from swallowing the caught fish, which they bring to the fisherman in their beak. Interestingly, every few fish given, the pelican demand one for him . Today, fishing with cormorants is only applicable to the tourism industry.
The cruise lasts about 1.5 hours and the views around are very beautiful, but this is not the type of trip that is amazing.
