The freshness and true flavor of the lake flow along the Huaihe River for thousands of years.

The land of three rivers flowing between Hongze Lake and Gaoyou Lake twists and turns into Zeguojin Lake, a water town.

Jinhu is a beautiful water town, with a land area of ??1,400 square kilometers but 420 square kilometers of water surface and 44 square kilometers of tidal flats.

The territory is surrounded by Baima Lake, Baoying Lake and Gaoyou Lake on three sides, the only one in the country.

The waterway of the Huaihe River runs through the hinterland from west to east, and the upper reaches of the river flow quickly to the Yangtze River.

The water flow is smooth, the water area is wide, and the environment on both sides of the river is beautiful, making it a rare ecological home.

The territory is densely covered with rivers, abundant water resources, fields of lotus leaves, surrounded by long embankments, shaded by green trees, neat fields, and fragrant rice, giving it a natural scenery of a lake-like water town.

Due to the numerous lakes, ditches and rivers in Jinhu, and the criss-crossing of bays and canals, Jinhu is extremely rich in aquatic animal and plant resources such as aquatic products, waterfowl, and aquatic vegetables.

The lake water is clear and highly transparent, rich in calcium, magnesium, silicon, aluminum, selenium and other minerals. The water quality generally meets the national first and second grade standards.

There are more than 60 kinds of high-quality edible aquatic products such as aquatic fish, shrimps, turtles, river mussels, etc., with an annual output of 60,000 tons. They are of high quality, rich and ecological.

It is known as the "Land of Fish and Rice", "Pearl on the Huai River", and "Little Jiangnan Fortress".

Jinhu wild soft-shelled turtle is an excellent nourishing product.

Jinhu wild turtle braised in braised fish is delicious and not only good for physical fitness, but also has good anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.

Jinhu hairy crabs only eat fish, shrimp, snails, aquatic plants and other natural bait, making them a green and pollution-free product.

Due to its low price and high quality, it often becomes a counterfeit and substitute for famous brand-name hairy crabs in various places.

It is large, delicious, fat and rich in protein. It is sold well in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and is well received by consumers everywhere.

Jinhu lobster is large, with clean meat, soft shell and fresh taste. Jinhu cooking comes from the profound influence of ancient Chu, Wuyue, Canal and Yao cultures. Jinhu garlic lobster and clear water lobster have become the first choice for franchises everywhere.

There are more than 100 Jinhu Huxian delicacies and lobster specialty stores nationwide, distributed in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and coastal areas, especially in cities along the Shanghai-Nanjing line.

As a hometown of Yao, Jinhu has a long cultural heritage and rich food culture. Jinhu Huxian cuisine is a Huaiyang cuisine series with Huxian specialties.

Eight bowls of typical dishes from Jinhu Lake include "braised turtle", "Huyang claypot", "Loach in Lotus Dang", "Yaomu confinement soup", "lion head with crab roe", "minced meat and lotus root", "old goose crispy rice"

" and "Chicken Sauce Fish Thread" are favored by gourmets all over the world.

"Chicken Sauce Fish Thread" and "Crab Roe Lion's Head" were once on the menu of the state banquet, and the Prime Minister who came to Jin Dynasty to inspect and guide the work said that they were extraordinary and top-notch.

The "Fishermen's Banquet" and "Whole Fish Banquet" with unique flavors, and the "Whole Lotus Root Banquet" and "Waterfowl Banquet" with exquisite craftsmanship and unique flavor have become classics of lake fresh food.

Huxian cuisine originates from the original cooking techniques of Huaiyang cuisine and is a distinct branch of Huaiyang cuisine.

Jinhu people pay attention to finesse and cooking skills, like innovative cooking techniques, and pay attention to the ingenious combination of nutrition and taste.

For example, there are more than a dozen cooking methods for wild soft-shelled turtle, including stir-frying, steaming, stewing, and soft-shell turtle soup; braised herring fillets, steamed fish tails, handmade fish balls, pickled fish heads, pickled fish fillets, stir-fried fish fillets, and more.

There are farm-pickled herring cubes braised in braise, or a "dragon-tiger" battle with fresh meat (salted meat is also acceptable).

"You can't make soup without fish, you can't bake without fish, you can't fry without fish, you can't make soup without fish, and you can't steam without fish" forms the unique flavor of Jinhu Lake's fresh food.

Huxian cuisine maintains the lightness of the soup and the nutritional content of the dishes. It is not only rich in nutrition, but also good for the body, making it a rare healthy diet.

Big fish and big meat have long been out of fashion, and Jinhu’s fresh food has gradually become the first choice for gourmets all over the world.

Hearing that the Jinhu government supports the Jinhu Catering Chamber of Commerce in building and applying for a national hub of Huxian cuisine, my eyes light up and my tongue sparkles.

I think this is not only good news for gourmets, but also a blessing for the people in the water town.
