The lake is shaped a little bit like an ear if you look at it from the right angle, and name Erhai means \u2018ear sea\u2019 in Chinese. Partly because of its size and location in the mountains, Erhai Lake is a major tourist attraction. The islands in the lake and the temples around are also interesting places to visit."}, {"text_idx": "#000119", "text": "Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan Province"}, {"text_idx": "#000120", "text": "For many visitors to Erhai Lake the top tourist attraction is Golden Shuttle Island, and the nearby Bai fishing community. The Bai are an indigenous ethnic group who make their living fishing on Erhai Lake. The Bai famously use trained cormorants to catch the fish. Erhai Lake is relatively shallow, with an average depth of 11 metres which means the birds can dive down to the depth where the fish live. Metal rings are attached to the cormorants\u2019 necks to stop them simply swallowing the fish they have catch instead of depositing the catch on the fisherman\u2019s boat."}]
