Mingxing Fishing Cave Scenic Area

Mingxing Fishing Cave Scenic Area

Located on the west shore of Fuxian Lake, Mingxing Fishing Cave Scenic Area
 is a state 2A-level tourist site. This area was famous due to the fishing methods 
of the local people. There is a kind of fish locally called “anti-wave fish” 
(Schizothorax taliensis). It swims against current to the caves around the lake 
shores. Local fishermen discovered this unique habit of the fish and dug ditches 
to attract and catch fish by drawing water using waterwheels.
