Guidelines for eating hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake

1. Yangcheng Lake-Bacheng: Eat the most authentic and authentic hairy crabs

When asked where to eat crabs in Bacheng, any citizen can point out a path. I learned that there are currently 4 crab markets and 1 food street in Bacheng, which are relatively concentrated places to eat crabs.

Bacheng Crab Garden is located on Hubin Road beside Yangcheng Lake. From Kunshan to Bacheng, just drive west along Ma'anshan Road and turn right to Hubin Road. For diners taking the expressway, take the Bacheng exit of the expressway, follow Chengbei West Road all the way west to the end, and turn right for about 1 kilometer to reach Crab Garden.

Chunqiu Shuicheng Crab Garden is located on the northeast side of Yangcheng Lake, next to Xiangshi Road. Diners can get there directly from the Yangcheng Hubei (Bacheng North) exit of the Ring Expressway, turn left after exiting the toll station, and walk about 800 meters away. About 16 million yuan was invested in the Spring and Autumn Shuicheng Crab Garden to build Shuicheng catering center, aquatic products wholesale market, fishing center and other facilities.

Yujia Denghuo Catering Base is located in Yangcheng Hunan, and can be reached by going west along Ma'anshan Road to the end. Diners at the Bacheng exit of the expressway can go west along Chengbei West Road, turn left onto Gucheng Road, and then turn onto Ma'anshan Road at the end to see the lights of the fisherman's house. With an investment of 38 million yuan (including 4.2 million yuan in environmental protection), Yujia Lighting has a parking lot of 46,000 square meters, a catering boat dock of 2,300 meters, with nearly 100 catering boats docked, and a green coverage rate of more than 50%.

The Second Hairy Crab Trading Market is also called Bacheng Lake Market. It can be reached by driving north along Weicheng Road, turning to Linhu Road and heading west past Bacheng Primary School. Diners taking the expressway should take Chengbei West Road to the west, find Weicheng Road, and then drive north. The Second Hairy Crab Trading Market has invested 8.5 million yuan and has 139 trading boat docks and 34 large and small catering boats.

Bacheng Food Street has storefronts on both sides of Bajie Road and Dayu Road as its main business premises. Kunshan diners driving north along Hubin Road can see a street densely populated with crab restaurants. After getting off the expressway, take Chengbei West Road and go west to Hubin Road to find the market. The food street attracted 89 million yuan of private investment to build 167 business houses with a total area of ??45,500 square meters.

Of course, if you don’t go to these crab markets with dense crab boats to eat crabs, the old streets in Bacheng Town are also a good choice. After eating crabs, take a walk on the old street, which not only helps you digest your food, but also allows you to experience the unique customs of the Jiangnan water town.

Some farm hotels and ecological farms scattered in every corner of Bacheng also supply authentic Bacheng hairy crabs. Choose a restaurant you like and try local farm food, which has a unique flavor.

Recommended restaurants for eating crabs:

Bacheng Asi Crab Village, the first signature spot for crab eating in Yangcheng Lake. It is said to be a Crab House, but it is actually a three-story pavilion converted from two large barges fixed on the lakeside. Although it is built on the boat, it is like walking on flat ground. The first three floors are all private rooms for eating and watching the scenery. The Crab House Behind are open-air dining tables and rows of cages holding hairy crabs and fresh Yangcheng Lake aquatic products. Guests can catch and cook whatever they want.

2. Yangcheng Lake-Yangcheng Lake Town: Eat crabs on the island, the scenery is unique here

Yangcheng Lake Town sits on two peninsulas-the main island and Lianhua Island. The annual hairy crab production accounts for half of the total output of Yangcheng Lake District. Perhaps the biggest feature of going to Yangcheng Lake Town to eat crabs is that the scenery is better. Taking a motorboat to cruise around the lake feels a bit like a paradise.

3. Yangcheng Lake-Weiting Town: Eat crabs at the food street

Weiting, located in the East Lake of Yangcheng Lake, occupies one-third of the lake area. Walking on the streets of Weiting Town, you can see hairy crab "symbols" everywhere. The first phase of the International Crab City here has a construction area of ??56,000 square meters. It is currently the largest large-scale hairy crab trading professional in East China that integrates on-site trading of hairy crabs and domestic and overseas seafood products, wholesale warehousing, tourism catering, and local specialty shopping malls. market. Only about 20 meters away from the lake, there is also the Weiting Hairy Crab Trading Market, where dozens of local crab boats gather.
