The 21st Chagan Lake Fishing and Hunting Cultural Tourism Festival kicked off on Wednesday in Songyuan of Northeast China's Jilin province, with thousands of tourists witnessing the spectacle of fish leaping over the water.

The first catch of the fishing season set an auction record of 1,699,999 yuan ($243,779.86) at the opening ceremony of the festival on the frozen Chagan Lake.

The buyer, a domestic dairy enterprise, paid the record sum as a donation to the continued maintenance of the lake, including protecting its ecological environment and promoting the sustainable development of the lake's fishery.
