A winter fishing event was held at the Pan'an Lake National Wetland Park on Dec. 8, 2024, in Jiawang district, Xuzhou city, east China's Jiangsu Province. Fishermen worked tirelessly to haul in their catch, creating a lively scene of fish leaping and people rejoicing.

In recent years, the local area has adopted an ecological fish farming model of "human release, natural cultivation; fish protecting water; fish purifying water." This approach has promoted positive synergy between ecological protection and economic benefits.
