Yangcheng Lake hairy crab

Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, also known as the golden claw crab, is living in Yangcheng Lake, Suzhou. The crab’s body does not stick to the mud, so it is commonly called as the clean crab. It has fat body, green shell, white belly, golden claw and yellow hair. With fluffy meat, its limbs are quite strong, which make it move quickly even on the glass.

When the autumn winds become cool and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, it is the peak season for fishing the golden claw crabs. This year’s Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs fishing ceremony is tentatively scheduled on September 23. After that, the hairy crabs will be officially launched on a large scale.

Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab’s good reputation is closely related to its geographical location. Yangcheng Lake is one of the nearest lakes on the Yangtze Estuary hairy crab migration route. It is rich in plants and bait, clear in water, which is the suitable place for hairy crab. Therefore, it has produced high quality hairy crabs since ancient times.

Located in on the east bank of Yangcheng Lake in the northwest of Kunshan, Bacheng town is adjacent to Shanghai in the east and Suzhou in the west. It is known as the “Hometown of Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab in China” and is also regarded as “The Best Crab City in the World”. Story is going around that the world’s first crab feast was in Bacheng. People love the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake best, especially in the Bacheng of the east bank.
