To maintain sustainable development, fishermen in Chagan lake in recent years decide to limit the overall weight of fish within two million kilograms.

The winter fishing at Chagan lake has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage. "We will pass the winter fishing tradition to the future generations and tell them not to drain the lake to get all the fish," said Hu.
