What is "arowana"?
Arowana is a freshwater fish, which grows in Lijiang River in Guilin. It is big, delicious and nutritious. This kind of fish produces very little, and it can only be caught in Lijiang River, so the price is naturally high.
Why is the price so high?
In addition to the scarcity of production, there is also a very important reason, that is, "arowana" is a wild fish, unlike farmed fish, which can be caught at any time. In order to protect this kind of fish, the Guilin municipal government stipulates that only a certain number of "arowana" can be caught in the Lijiang River every year, and it can only be caught in a specific period of time. So the price of this fish has been pushed up.
How to buy arowana?
If you want to taste the delicious fish, you can go to the seafood market or restaurant in Guilin market to buy it. However, due to the high price, I suggest you know the market price before buying, so as not to be deceived by merchants.
