Itinerary
Secure the most iconic and sought-after shot in China. This is not a standard river cruise—it is a professionally staged, 4-hour photography session designed for maximum impact. With a 3:30 AM private pick-up, you will be driven to a secluded riverside location—far from the tourist crowds—to capture the ancient art of cormorant fishing. Your 20-year local guide and avid photographer ensures you are positioned perfectly to shoot the traditional fisherman and his birds as the light shifts from darkness to the magical blue and golden hours.
03:30 AM: Private Hotel Pick-up in Guilin or Yangshuo area 4AM. Fast, comfortable drive to the secluded location.
