Jiangsu Jinhu County is home to Baima Lake, Gaoyou Lake, and Baoying Lake, with the Huaihe River flowing through it. Rich water surface resources and aquatic resources form Jinhu’s unique water town characteristics.
Jinhu is known as the "Hometown of Appearances", "The Land of Fish and Rice", "Pearl on the Huaihe River", "Hometown of Dutch Culture", "Jinhu Water Town", and "Little Jiangnan in Northern Jiangsu". The local products we have: Hengqiao whitebait, water chestnut, lotus root starch, lotus root, wild duck, wormwood tea, lotus seeds, shrimp, lobster, shrimp, river clam, bullfrog, shelduck, mushroom, lotus tea, lotus leaf tea, Lotus seed hearts, Gorgon rice, hairy crabs, lotus eggs, green shell eggs, preserved eggs, live beads, old goose eggs, salted duck eggs, water chestnut rice, Jingou cake, Jingou vegetarian chicken, wild turtle, wild long fish, Jinhu rice (registered trademark and regional protection), golden leaf flour, wild black fish, etc. are also famous far and wide. After integrating into the Nanjing metropolitan area, the first thing the far-sighted Jinhu County Party Committee and County Government thought of was to create an "ecological Jinhu" business card, making Jinhu the "back garden" of Nanjing and Shanghai.
