While driving north to Lijiang we stopped on Lake Erhai to see fishermen apply their traditional techniques to catch fish: cormorants. Fishing is a team effort: the woman (wife) rows the boat, while the man (husband) manages the birds, releasing them and then catching them.   Staged, but interesting regardless. 

Lijiang was our next stop after Kunming, however the closest airport was in Dali.  Dali is located on Lake Erhai, south of Lijiang.  Our first stop was in the old town of Dali.
