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. Like Arabs are fond of hunting with falcons,
the Bais of Lake Erhai used captured and domesticated cormorants
to catch fish. The big birds are hindered from swallowing
their prey by having rings fixed around their necks.
