Hainan East Goat, mainly produced in Dongshanling, Wanning, Hainan, is called "East Goat" for short by local people. It has enjoyed a good reputation since the Song Dynasty and was once listed as a "tribute", which is one of the four famous dishes in Hainan. East goat likes to eat wild partridge tea in the mountains and often drinks spring water in the mountains, so mutton tastes sweet but not greasy, and its taste is tender and smooth, and everyone who has eaten it is praised. Tian Han, a well-known Chinese poet and playwright, went to Dongshan Mountain that year, and after tasting Dong goat, he wrote a poem: "Sheep are fat and love zhicao, and tea is good with famous springs".
