There are traces of soft-shelled turtles in rivers and lakes all over Jiangxi. Among them, Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, has the largest quantity and the best quality.

Soft-shelled turtle, also known as Chinese soft-shelled turtle, is mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, mainly in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces, especially Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province.
