Winter fishing in NE China

If you are thinking that few activities can be done in extremely cold weather, you are wrong in this case.

Fishing fever was in full swing in China's northeast tip in Heilongjiang province this weekend.

Tourists swarmed ice-covered Changling Lake in Harbin on Sunday, hoping to grab a big fish for dinner in the biting weather.

Winter fishing as a business and a tourism event started Sunday in chilling weather with the temperature at minus 20 degrees Celsius.
