CGTN published this video item, entitled “Live: Catch a glimpse of the winter fishing in northwest China’s Xinjiang” – below is their description.
The annual winter fishing is underway in Ulungur Lake in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Crowned “the sea in the Gobi desert,” the lake has always generously fed local fishermen. Winter fishing here has a history of more than six decades. Dozens of fishermen use traditional techniques to drill holes through the one-meter-thick ice and place a huge net under. Join CGTN to catch a glimpse of the winter fishing and learn more about the traditions. #winterfishing
