Sifang Lake, Bengbu, Anhui | Let's eat crabs

| Let's eat crabs. Sifang Lake is located in Huaiyuan County, Anhui Province. As a national 3A tourist attraction, there are no traces of commercial development here, nor tourists. It's like a beauty that stands alone in the world. Anhui has abundant water resources. As a national centralized drinking water supply base, Anhui Province has sacrificed many commercial interests in exchange for the health of the aquatic ecosystem. Sifang Lake is also one of the drinking water supply areas. The local government has been testing the water quality of Sifang Lake every quarter. A man in his fifties told me: He was born and grew up in Sifang Lake. He has been fishing and catching shrimps in the lake since he was a teenager. The only thing that has changed is their concept of water quality. The only difference between the wild crabs of the past and the farmed crabs of today is the natural return of Yangtze River crabs and artificially stocked crab seedlings. The hairy crabs in Sifang Lake rely on natural growth and breeding, which not only protects the aquatic ecosystem but also nurtures the most natural and healthy hairy crabs. Let everything return to nature, return to the essence of things is our blessing. I envy the crabs, fish, and shrimps that grow in Sifang Lake. I respect the heavy burden that Anhui has taken on, and I admire the crab farmers and entrepreneurs who raise crabs in Sifang Lake. During my 5-day trip in Anhui, I achieved crab freedom, living with crabs every day, eating crabs from Sifang Lake, and being cleansed by 'Sifang Lake'. The crabs in Sifang Lake are very clean. After simple washing, they can be steamed directly without any seasoning (high-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods). The crab meat is salty and fresh, and it is sweet after eating. I recommend you to try it if you have the chance. Sifang Lake
