Ten photos you don't wanna miss - April 9

A man sailing peacefully across a river in the early morning light in Guilin, South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, keeping a 1000 year old tradition alive. Equipped with a bird, gas lamp and net, he fishes without the aid of a rod by using an unusual method - first practiced in 960 AD. The fisherman, pictured in southern China, releases a cormorant bird which dives into the water and retrieves a carp, before returning to the fisherman on the reed raft. [Photo/IC]
