Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing technique.
Fishermen use trained cormorants to catch fish in rivers.
To control the birds, the fishermen tie a loose string around the bird's throat.
The string prevents the bird from swallowing fish, which are held temporarily in their gullet.
When a cormorant has caught a fish in its throat, the fisherman brings the bird back to take the fish out from its throat.
We stayed at a hotel near the river, about ten minute ride by car, and had delicious sea food dinner.
After the cormorant fishing demonstration, fireworks were held near the riverside.
