When I came to Hongze Lake, the first thing I saw was the clear water, and all the fish and shrimp in the water could be seen clearly. Breeze blowing, ripples on the lake, sunlight shining on the lake, sparkling, beautiful! When summer comes, there are many lotus flowers on the lake, emitting a faint fragrance. All they have are flowers and bones, just like a sleeping child; Some are in bud, like a shy little girl; Some are in full bloom, like noble princesses. These lotus flowers are pink and white. A gust of wind blew, and the lotus swayed gently, like a dancer in a pink dress dancing ballet on a green stage covered with lotus leaves. I was intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, as if I had become a dancing lotus ... On the shore of the lake, tall poplars stood like giants on Hongze Lake.

Hongze Lake is shaped like a swan spreading its wings and flying, so it is also called "Swan Lake". Located in the lower reaches of Huaihe River in the west of Jiangsu Province, it has a long history of more than 2,000 years and an area of 2,069 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest freshwater lake in China. At present, the main attractions are Li Bai's long embankment and the remains of the old man.

Hongze Lake is rich in products, including crucian carp, lobster and whitebait ... The most famous is the hairy crabs in Hongze Lake. Hongze people are very good at eating hairy crabs. If you want to eat delicious hairy crabs, you must first choose the crabs, pinch the thighs to see if the hardness is enough, and then see if the belly color is shiny and the joints are white, so as to judge the fatness of hairy crabs. Turn the crab upside down, belly up, and it is a good crab that can be turned over quickly; Put the crab on the ground, and it is the strong crab that can crawl quickly. In late autumn and early winter, when the weather turns cold, it is best to eat the female crab before the temperature drops sharply, because at this time, the female crab has not completely laid eggs and is very fat. When the temperature drops, the male crab will soon get fat, so eat the male crab at this time. So eating hairy crabs is chosen according to different seasons. Hongze people are also good at making hairy crabs into various delicious dishes. There are two main ways to eat, steaming and stewing. When steaming, put the crab in a steamer, steam it at high temperature, and then mix with soy sauce, aged vinegar, ginger rice, chopped green onion, garlic paste and so on. Dip in the seasoning; Stewing vegetables is some delicate work, the most famous of which is crab yellow tofu. Hongze people also developed crab food into crab yellow buns, crab meatballs, crab soup noodles, etc., adding luster to the world-famous Huaiyang cuisine.

I will study hard and strive for the future of Hongze Lake in my hometown. I want people all over the country to know the history, specialties and places of interest of Hongze Lake, and let people all over the country know the word "Hongze Lake".
