Fishing in Erhai Lake. A
net is spread between 2 boats, slowly pulled towards the shore by ropes
Getting the net out of the
water
At the bottom are
thousands of little fish
Fishing is not a job for
one person. Chinese people are good at teamwork
It may be small, but this
fish is very tasty
Fish will dry on large
mats spread on the side of the road
Dry and ready to be sold
in Dali City
Some people also sell it
right there by the lake
