Chagan Lake (查干湖;) is a lake in Jilin. The name “Chagan” is from Mongolian, meaning “white lac”. The lake is often referred to as Holy Water Lake by local people. The lake is known for traditional winter fishing that dates back to prehistoric times. The annual Winter Fishing Festival is held to remember the old winter fishing tradition. Fishermen first drill many holes through the thick ice and then place net under the ice. The Lake set a Guinness World Record of a single net that yielded 104,500 kg (230,400 lb) fish in 2005, and broke its own record with168,500 kg (371,500 lb) of fish in 2008.
