As the winter chill sets in, Songyuan City in Jilin Province in the northeast of the Chinese mainland is turning frosty fun up a notch! ❄️🎣 The 24th Chagan Lake Fishing and Hunting Cultural Tourism Festival kicked off today under the banner "Enjoy Fishing, Come to Songyuan."
From sunrise to starry skies, get front-row seats to traditional ice fishing demos on Chagan Lake's frozen surface, then warm up with the famous whole-fish feast. Daytime thrills include zipping down icy slides and roaring over snow on snowmobiles 🛷🚀 As night falls, the Longyu Tribe resort lights up with cultural performances, and cozy homestays give you a true local vibe.
Don't miss the intangible cultural heritage market, where you can explore regional crafts, folk customs, and get a taste of life from the northeast of the Chinese mainland. Plus, this year's Chagan Lake Ski Resort has expanded to over 30,000 square meters — so ski lovers can carve fresh powder alongside the ice fishing craze 🎿✨
Ready to chill? The ice fishing season runs through early March, making now the perfect time to plan your snowy escape!
