The beautiful Fishing Villages at Erhai LakePosted by ugfanfan on December 24th, 2014 The main attraction of Dali is probably the surrounding countryside area. To the west lies the Cangshan Mountain Range with peaks well above 4,000 meters and a large number of picturesque Buddhist temples. Lake Erhai, some 40 kilometers long from north to south and less than 10 kilometers wide, is known for a unique fishing method used by the locals. The Bai ethnic group of Lake Erhai used captured and domesticated cormorants to catch fish. The big birds were hindered from swallowing their prey by having rings fixed around their necks.
