Set off! Meet the winter fishing season in Weichang, Chengde

Fish leap from the ice lake, and the winter fishing season begins❄. On January 11, the 3rd Mulan Weichang Winter Fishing Season opened at the Weichang Diaoyutai Reservoir. It attracted many local residents and tourists from Beijing and Tianjin to watch the folk customs, winter fishing, and taste lake fish, experiencing the charm of fishing and hunting culture. - With a loud shout from the head fisherman, the winter fishing season officially began. Everyone put in all their strength, holding the ropes tightly with both hands, and the fishing net was pulled tighter and tighter. The thousand-meter-long net was pulled out of the water, and lively big fish jumped out of the ice, presenting a spectacular scene of "fish leaping from the ice lake"🐟. - There was also a fish feast tasting session on site. 🍲 A big pot was lit, firewood was added, and the pot was set up. Fresh fish were quickly cleaned and put into the pot. Soon, bowls of steaming fresh fish stew were served to the tourists. Everyone tasted the tender fish, enjoying the joy and satisfaction brought by winter fishing. Meanwhile, the ethnic and folk landscape nodes set up in Yaozhan Town and Lanqikalun Township were unique, and there were also local specialty agricultural and sideline products made with good ingredients and water. Tourists participated in the event to fully experience the unique style of Weichang and enjoy this cultural feast. - Mulan Weichang has a long history of fishing and hunting culture, coexisting with the Mulan Autumn Hunting culture. The Weichang Diaoyutai Reservoir has a water area of 533,000 square meters, an ice thickness of 80 cm, and a freezing period of more than 70 days. It has a good natural ecology and abundant water supply. The fish grown here have tender and delicious meat, providing excellent natural conditions for winter fishing activities. - Weichang will continue to leverage its winter tourism resources, focusing on the four major sections of "playing with ice and snow, enjoying hot springs, experiencing folk customs, and watching events," and create a new boutique tourism route covering scenery, food, accommodation, and performances. Tourists can book Weichang tourism products through the Trip.com platform. This will improve the level of winter tourism services, stimulate the vitality of the winter tourism market, promote the transformation of tourism from "one-season tourism" to all-region and all-season tourism, attract more tourists to join ice and snow sports, participate in ice and snow activities, and continue to promote the Weichang ice and snow tourism brand, making the "So close, so beautiful, weekend in Hebei" brand even more famous.
