The 22nd Chagan #Lake #Fishing and Hunting Cultural Tourism Festival kicked off on Thursday in Songyuan, northeast #China's Jilin Province, with thousands of tourists waiting to see which team out of the four has the biggest catch of #fish. The largest fish in the first catch is believed to be auspicious and lucky, and it will go under the hammer to the highest bidder. All proceeds from the auction will be used for ecological restoration of Chagan Lake to improve water quality and purchase more fry to put into the lake. #newyearmyway #cgtn #news #newyear2024
