The winter fishing season has returned to Chagan Lake in Songyuan, northeastern China's Jilin Province, bringing the frozen landscape to life. The rhythm of ice drills and the rhythmic chants of fishermen echo across the expanse as everyone waits for the "red nets" to break the surface. From the spectacle of fish leaping onto the ice to the bustling energy of the packaging yards and the steam rising from a traditional whole-fish feast, the lake is alive with the spirit of the season. Join us for an immersive journey into the heart of this ancient tradition, where we explore the vibrant folk customs and culinary delights that make winter fishing a grand cultural event.
