Winter Fishing on the Biliu River: A Seasonal Tradition Before Chinese New Year
As the festive spirit of the Chinese New Year approaches, the Biliu River in Dalian, Liaoning Province, becomes a bustling hub for winter fishing enthusiasts. Local fishermen bravely break through the surface ice, targeting silver carp, a prized catch during this season.
This annual tradition not only supports the livelihoods of the community but also plays a vital role in the local ecosystem. The captured silver carp provide a plentiful food source for migratory birds that flock to the area, thriving on the abundance of fish and shrimp from the river.
The winter fishing season transforms the serene, ice-covered Biliu River into a lively scene of activity and natural harmony. It's a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the region's inhabitants and the interconnectedness of human practices and wildlife conservation.
