Winter fishing event held on Chagan Lake in NE China (14)

Tourists purchase fresh fishes at an open market on the Chagan Lake in Songyuan City, northeast China's Jilin Province, Dec. 27, 2016. Winter fishing on ice-covered Chagan Lake dates back to the Liao and Jin dynasties from 10th century to the 13th century. Today, local fishermen hold a ritual to offer a sacrifice to the lake god before they begin winter fishing. Fishermen here plan to catch 1.3 million kilograms of fish this winter. (Xinhua/Zhang Nan)
