As the cold winds blow and the ice thickens, something magical happens at Xingkai Lake in northeastern the Chinese mainland. It's winter fishing season! 🎣❄️

This year, the excitement is off the charts! Will the fishermen of Xingkai Lake land a \"red net\"? How much will the \"head fish\" sell for? 🤔
Join us on this icy adventure, and let's uncover the secrets beneath the frozen surface of Xingkai Lake together! ❄️🌊
