Chagan Lake in Songyuan, Jilin | Chagan Lake in summer and autumn is a little beyond expectations.

🐟 Chagan Lake is famous for its winter fishing culture. Every winter, Chagan Lake in Songyuan City, Jilin Province, opens the winter fishing season. The unique fishing method and the derived fishing sacrifice culture are very distinctive. Chagan Lake is not very popular during the non-winter fishing season, making it a good place for small groups to avoid crowds. Moreover, the travel experience here is richer than I imagined. In addition to the sea-like lakes, there are also Tibetan temples, Mongolian culture, etc. 🌿 Regarding the lake area tour, it is recommended to enter from the South Scenic Area and drive along the west bank of Chagan Lake to the North Scenic Area. You can stop at Chagan Lake Fishing and Hunting Village and Yulong Wetland on the way. You can reach the North Scenic Area via the bridge next to the Yulong Wetland. The North Scenic Area is characterized by many entertainment projects and is a good place for families and young people. It is recommended to take a walk around the South Scenic Area. The southern scenic area is the core tourist area of ​​Chagan Lake, where there are Miaoyin Temple (recommended), Genghis Khan Zhao (recommended), Prince's Mansion (average), etc., where you can get other travel experiences besides natural scenery. 1. Miaoyin Temple🪷 is a Tibetan Buddhist temple. The temple halls combine Han and Tibetan features, and follow the traditional Chinese central axis symmetrical architectural layout.
