Another early start, with a tuktuk to a wharf where we took bamboo rafts up river for an hour. We arrived well before dawn intent on photographing our cormorant fishermen in the dawn light and onwards. The location was lovely, with tall mountains reflected in the river, and the fishermen’s kerosine lanterns gave a lovely warm glow on everything around them.

Afterwards, we had a photo session with the fishermen at their home. We had lots of photo opportunities for portraits. See the online gallery for ore images.

After the photoshoot we walked down a riverside track to the local village where we took a local ferry across the Li river. We had chance to explore local markets before we headed off to Guilin – see those photos in the gallery at https://photos.app.goo.gl/cZePw8LJ6m14K5WS8.
