The setting sun is reflecting on the vast expanse of blue water. 

Fishermen cast nets and pull up nets with ease on bamboo rafts... 

The yo-heave-ho of fishermen and fishing boats are drifting away with water waves. 


The scene is often seen recently in Hongxing Village (红星村), Fenkou Town. In the early morning or evening, on the lake near Hongxing Village, fishermen are seen fishing on bamboo rafts, and bursts of joy and laughter are heard from time to time. Early in the morning or evening, in the lake near Hongxing Village, fishermen are always fishing on bamboo rafts, and from time to time there are bursts of joy and laughter.


Starting from July 31, except the perennially closed reservoirs and no-fishing areas, the streams in Chun'an County and the tributaries and inlets of Qiandao Lake have ended the seasonal five-month fishing moratorium, and fishermen have started a new season of fishing.


Hongxing Village is located beside a reservoir. It is where the Wuqiang Stream, the second largest river in Qiandao Lake, flows into Qiandao Lake. Thus, fishing is also one of the income sources of the villagers. At 4:00 in the morning, the fishermen of Hongxing Village go out early to cast nets and catch fish. This kind of scene also attracts many tourists and photographers from other places to experience fishing or take photos. Skilled fishermen are casting nets, paddling, pulling up nets... on the lake, like dancers on the stage.


Nowadays, Hongxing Village is actively developing rural tourism. The number of agritainment resorts in the village has increased from two last year to the current four, and two more are under construction. In July this year, Fenkou Tourist Association was established; 31 attractions, B&Bs, agritainment resorts and characteristic villages in Hongxing Commune and the whole town have been included into the first batch of member units. The next step will be driven by the association to constantly explore local culture, tourism resources, featured tours and folk experience.
