There is a beautiful place at 41 degrees north latitude in China. The winter scenery is vast and magnificent. This is Bosten Lake, known as the pearl of the vast sea. Bosten Lake is the largest inland freshwater lake in China. Participate in a wonderful winter fishing at minus 15 degrees. We moved forward against the wind on the thick ice, and the winter fishing scene was full of joy. When I personally pulled the net from Bosten Lake and watched the fish jump out of the ice, the whole process was full of surprises and hearty. The joy of harvest made people forget the severe winter .
In Bayingol in winter, the silver-white world has a dream like a fairy tale world. This time, I came to Bohu Lake from afar, just to have a look at the winter scenery of the largest inland freshwater lake in China. Bosten Lake is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The southern slope of Tianshan Mountain in Bayingoleng Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, 14 kilometers east of Bohu County, belongs to the mountain subsidence lake.
Walking in the snow-covered Bosten Lake, I am very moved by the magnificence of the northern scenery covered by thousands of miles of ice. Bosten Lake is 55 kilometers long from east to west, 25 kilometers wide from north to south, and has a water area of more than 800 square kilometers. The water area of Hangzhou West Lake is 5.66 square kilometers. One Bosten Lake is equivalent to 140 West Lake, you can imagine how big this largest inland freshwater lake in China is.
The water source of Bosten Lake comes from the Kaidu River, which is a mixture of snowmelt water and rainwater above 4,000 meters above sea level. Bo Lake is also the source of the Kongque River. The Kongque River crosses Korla City from west to east and becomes the mother river of Korla. Bohu Lake has high-quality water sources and is rich in all kinds of freshwater fish. It is the largest fishery production base in Xinjiang. Participating in a winter fishing in Bohu Lake is the biggest harvest I have come to Xinjiang this time.
The vast lake is quiet and silent, until the arrival of winter fishermen, it instantly becomes a sea of joy. The cold winter makes everything in the world slow and long, but the winter in Bosten Lake is steaming. The fishermen have set marks on the ice in advance, and after digging the ice hole, put the fishing net into the ice hole , we are quietly waiting for the moment when the net is pulled.
The greatest joy of coming to Bohu Lake this time is that I can personally participate in the winter fishing process. I can catch as many fish as I like with a big net. This year’s climate is warm, because when I came, the temperature was not low enough. Bosten Lake is really a large-scale winter. Before the fishing started, we experienced a small-scale winter fishing on the small lake. Watching the fishing net being pulled up little by little, we were both nervous and excited at that moment. The moment the fish jumped out of the ice hole, everyone present Everyone is cheering.
The moment the fishermen take the fresh fish off the fishing net, one can feel full of joy, because the water quality of Bosten Lake is good, suitable for the growth and reproduction of many kinds of fish. Currently, there are 32 fish species in the lake. Among them, 10 species of carp, crucian carp, silver carp, grass carp, pond male fish, red perch (Wudaohei), freshwater shrimp, snakehead, crab, and bighead carp and 1.5 million mu of water in the Great Lakes have passed the organic product certification of the State Environmental Protection Administration. and origin certification.
Speaking of winter fishing in our country, it has already begun in the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Winter ice and snow fishing (or fishing and hunting) is a traditional fishery production method. The most famous winter fishing is the winter fishing in Chagan Lake, Jilin. The spectacle has been included in the provincial intangible cultural heritage list of Jilin Province. The winter fishing in Bosten Lake is similar to Chagan Lake, and it has been more than 40 years.
Fresh fish caught usually sell for 7 or 8 yuan a catty, and the price is still very real. Nowadays, winter fishing is not only a way of life for fishermen, but also a winter tourism project.
The joyful moment of winter fishing this time is to set up a big pot on the ice. The process of stewing fish in the big pot is especially unforgettable. The fresh fish stewed out of Bosten Lake is extremely delicious. It is minus 15 degrees and eating the freshest Bohu Lake Fish, drinking hot fish soup, the last big pot of fish soup was all drunk. , Traveling all over the northern and southern Xinjiang, Bohu fish is the most fragrant, and Bohu fish is indeed well-deserved.
The snow-covered winter is actually not silent. People who are good at discovering will always harvest the most moving harvest under those seemingly silent appearances. Winter fishing in Bosten Lake is the most beautiful interpretation of winter in Xinjiang.
