July 3, 2012 - China, Day 8

Another travel day - this time from Guilin to Shanghai. Before we left, we hit a few more spots including the beautiful Elephant-trunk Hill (it's a hill that looks like an elephant - go figure!) While we were there, I took this photo of a Cormorant fishing-bird, something else the region is pretty well known for. Basically, fishermen use birds to catch fish because they are so good at it, but they tie strings around the birds' necks so the birds can't eat the big ones. It's sounds crazy, but it seems to work and "different strokes for different folks" has seemed to apply pretty well for most of the trip.

Other highlights from the day

  • Solitary Beauty Peak
  • Reed Flute Cave
  • Flight to Shanghai
  • Our incredible room & view at the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund
  • Late dinner and drinks at Long Bar in the hotel
