Product introduction: Tiantai sweetfish is mainly produced in the swimming stream at the east foot of Cangshan Mountain, only more than 40 miles away from the East China Sea. Sweetfish spawn in the deep pools of swimming streams in autumn. After that, as the stream water gradually cools, the larvae swim downstream. As winter turns to spring and the stream warms up, the little sweetfish swim upstream again, grow up in the swimming stream, and lay eggs in autumn. This unique behavior is as interesting as swallows and geese. In the early years, there were a few sweetfish in Lingjiang River, which were called "Five Treasures of Yanshan". However, in recent years, due to water pollution, they are not easy to see. Tiantai Mountain Yongxi has become the only place of origin. Here, the water is clear, the rocks are clean, the vegetation is lush, and sweet fish appear among them. It is like entering a paradise.
