Lake Erhai, Dali
The main attraction of Dali is probably the surrounding countryside. 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 Bais 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.
To see
old-style farming and fishing villages go across the lake to Haidong. The old
ferry doesn’t run any more, so you have to get on one of the excessively priced
government run tourist boats. Find a bus or mini bus to Shuanglang and walk
around this beautiful little village. On the way back to Dali stop at
Zhoucheng, watch the afternoon market and explore this interesting old town.

Skarvfiskeri på Lake Erhai.
Fuglene får noget metaltråd bundet om halsen så de ikke kan sluge fiskene.
På de nederste billeder
kan man se hvordan fuglene har fem til seks fisk siddende i halsen. |

The east shore of Lake Erhai

Den østlige side af Erhai Lake er smuk og idyllisk - især i godt vejr. Her
havde vi den mest solrige dag på turen. Smukke lerklinede huse i
landsbyerne, grønne rismarker og fiskeri på den solbestrålte sø.
