Chagan Lake kicks off bustling winter fishing-themed festival

00:58

A winter fishing-themed festival kicked off at Chagan Lake on December 28, raising the curtain for a high-yield winter fishing season. Chagan Lake is one of China's largest freshwater lakes with abundant fishery resources. Locals living by Chagan Lake have kept alive the tradition of ice fishing by hand-drilling holes through the thick ice and casting nets into the icy waters to catch fish. The time-honored winter fishing at Chagan Lake has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO, and has become a signature tourism attraction in the city.
