An ice reason to cross the Strait

During this year's winter vacation and Spring Festival, many people from Taiwan have traveled to the Chinese mainland, especially to experience the trendy Northeast China ice and snow tours, an experience not available in Taiwan.

Lee Chiao-an, from Taipei and a student studying at National Chengchi University, recently visited Jilin province for five days with some other friends from Taiwan. They learned to make fish skin necklaces and experienced activities such as skiing and admiring the rime.

One of the activities that left a deep impression on her was the local traditional activity of ice fishing on the frozen surface of Chagan Lake.
