The ice fishing contest attracted about 40 anglers from across China, who set up tents on the frozen lake and patiently awaited bites in temperatures of -20 C.

The festival also vibrated with cultural performances, including drumming, fishermen's songs, the traditional yangko dance, and the lion dance.
