The Cormorant Fishermen of Guilin (Guangxi, China)
One of the highlights of this trip for me was to meet the famous cormorant fishermen of Guilin. Even if the water is too polluted now for fishing to be sustainable, these fishermen remain icons of some sort in this area, prized by many photographers, yet they remain as graceful as ever, even with old age. Their art will eventually be lost, as new generations take over, turning traditions into a simple tourist attractions. I’m so glad and honoured to have been able to meet the authentic, original cormorant fishermen of Guilin.
