Bosten Lake, the largest inland freshwater lake in China, spans an area of 1,646 square kilometers. Local farmers use eco-friendly methods to grow large crabs with abundant roe. These crabs are highly sought after and sold in major cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, as well as in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.
