Snap' Description

Experience the ultimate frontier winter lifestyle at the Ulungur Lake Winter Ice-Docks. When the massive freshwater lake freezes over with ice up to a meter thick, these working concrete piers become a high-energy operational base for trucks, heavy ice-saws, and traditional wooden horse-sleds preparing for the ancient thousands-of-meters-long net ice fishing hauls.

💎 Insider Tips

⚡
The winter operations peak exclusively between late December and early February; check local Fuhai festival schedules online.
⚡
The temperature on the open frozen lake bed regularly drops below -25°C; professional arctic-grade thermal suits and boots are mandatory.
⚡
Watch out for active vehicle traffic; heavy trucks and specialized ice-cutting tractors operate directly over the thick frozen ice sheets.
⚡
Sample a steaming bowl of fresh fish soup prepared inside the heated temporary canvas tents pitched by fishermen right over the ice.
