Is it fun to catch Chagan Lake in winter? From the end of 65438+February to the Spring Festival every year, it is the prime time for fishermen to carry out large-scale winter fishing operations. It is understood that this fishing and hunting culture originated in prehistoric times and flourished in Liao and Jin Dynasties. In addition, because winter fishing is easy to preserve and transport, this ancient way of winter fishing has continued to this day and has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Although it is the largest inland lake in Jilin Province and one of the top ten freshwater lakes in China, the winter fishing in Chagan Lake is still little known to most tourists, especially the winter fishing full of primitive northern fishing and hunting culture, the mysterious ceremony of offering sacrifices to the lake and the fishing scene of digging ice and casting nets are absolutely eye-opening.

On the opening day of the Chagan Lake Winter Fishing Festival, a primitive and mysterious ceremony of awakening the net was held against the background of the ice surface of Chagan Lake. This kind of ceremony is a Tibetan Buddhist ritual activity that integrates folklore, religion and culture, and the scene is very rare. Today, the winter fishing wonders of Chagan Lake have been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

When you come to Chagan Lake in this period, you can not only catch fish on the vast ice in winter, but also enjoy Mongolian dances performed by Mongolian boys and girls who can sing and dance.

One-day fishing tour of Chagan Lake in winter: the opening hours are slightly different every year, but they are all in the morning. I suggest you arrive after 9 am to watch the opening ceremony and the wake-up ceremony of the lake. When closing the net, you can pull the net, fish and take photos with local villagers. You can also buy fresh fish that have just been baked in the stalls by the lake. In the evening, it is better to find a farmhouse to stay and try the fish in iron pot. Remember to ask the boss to post a cake, it's delicious ~ eat it.

The opening hours of Chagan Lake are 8: 00- 18: 00. No tickets. Just go and watch the winter hunt.
