Changlong moon cake has the style of Soviet-style moon cake.

It is beautifully made and has a unique flavor, and has a long-standing reputation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

koi fish

koi fish is a unique carp on business in the Five Guarantees Lake in Jinxi. Fish have red fins and some have red backs, so they are called "koi fish". Because the color is different from that of ordinary fish, and the meat is delicious, it is quite popular with people.

"flying all over Taiwan"

commonly known as crystal shrimp, it is a freshwater shrimp with a long body and a shell, and its living body is turquoise with brown spots, so it is thin and transparent. "Flying all over Taiwan" is produced everywhere in the lakes and ponds of Jinxi, especially the "seed shrimp" in the summer festival. Because there are many "yellow manzi", the shrimp sauce is the river shrimp at this time. The famous dish of Jinxi, "Flying over Taiwan" (that is, drunken shrimp), generally chooses crystal shrimp in spring and autumn as raw material, and anyone who has tasted it feels particularly delicious. Black clam soup, crystal shrimp, stuffed fish and other authentic water dishes are light but extremely delicious.

black clam

is a specialty of Jinxi. The shell is divided into two parts, the shape is triangular, each side is about 3 to 4 cm long, and the shell is gray-brown and nearly black, so it is called "black clam". People usually cook clam meat into milky soup, which is delicious and nutritious.

Jinxi "Shuihongling"

is an annual floating-leaf aquatic herb, which is one of the high-quality species of water chestnut. Because of its bright red shell, it is called Shuihongling. Jinxi Shuihongling has the characteristics of fresh and tender, thin shell and thick meat. Every Mid-Autumn Festival should be listed, and it has been vying for the taste of small town people.

It tastes very special, salty and sweet. There are three flavors: peanut, mint and sesame. It's also very cheap, especially recommended.

A flat cylindrical cake filled with bean paste, with caramel black on top, crisp and sweet. One costs about 51 cents to 1 yuan.

Little Chai Shrimp

Because Jinxi is near Dianshan Lake, it is particularly rich in fresh water resources, especially shrimp. You can buy half a catty and visit roadside shops while eating, which is definitely a kind of enjoyment. 11 yuan a catty.

Yunpian Cake

I believe that Yunpian Cake is familiar to everyone, but Yunpian Cake in Jinxi has many tastes and is very fresh, especially walnut and osmanthus. 11 yuan for four. (Remember to eat it quickly when you buy it home, it won't taste good when it's hard.) Traffic Guide
