The annual Winter Fishing Festival in Fuhai County kicks off on January 20 at the snow-covered Ulungur Lake in Altay region, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

For over six decades, fishermen have followed the traditional winter fishing method by putting down a giant net under the ice. Fuhai County has turned the tradition into a cultural event by holding a winter fishing festival. Heated bidding for freshly caught fish has always been an exciting part and the first fish caught will be put up for auction. Join us to experience the lively, magnificent scene, embracing the Chinese New Year.
