What are the specialties in Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province?

Noodles are two characteristics of Jiangyin.

Horseshoe Crisp is a traditional pastry in Jiangyin. In the late Qing Dynasty, Zhenjiang pastry with the same name was copied and improved into flour. This product is made of refined flour and red beans as raw materials, supplemented by nuts and fermented with glutinous rice. Because the finished product is thick around and thin in the middle, it looks like a horseshoe, hence the name. It is characterized by crispness, looseness and softness, and good color, fragrance and taste.

Swordfish, also known as "Dragon Tooth Coilia" and "Dragon Tooth Coilia", is as white as silver, generally about 30 cm long, with a big female and a small male, and a long, narrow and flat body like a knife. Ci Hai said: "In spring and summer, clusters go upstream and spawn in the upper reaches of rivers or estuaries, forming a fishing season, and then return to the sea after spawning." The waterway from Nanjing to Nantong in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is usually the best place for swordfish to go in and out. Jiangyin, located on the south bank of the Yangtze River estuary, is a "golden waterway" for fish to swim back. It has hundreds of miles of coastline and considerable fishing capacity. Therefore, the output of saury listed every year ranks first among the counties and cities in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Often after the Spring Festival, fishing boats compete with each other, and fishermen's pockets are silvery white. The peak season is coming, and as soon as the vendors are attracted, they are busy buying, and those who weigh and collect money are busy as a bee.
