A firsherman returning from his fishing trip during winter with the old dwellings of Xitang (西塘镇) at the background. Cormorat fishing is practiced as you could see they are on the boat. This fishing technique uses trained birds to catch fish. Xitang is a scenic old town in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province (浙江省 嘉善县). This town is crisscrossed by nine rivers and many canals. The older part of the town is famous for its houses along river banks. Thanks smileqyj.
