"The reeds are blooming, the rice is fragrant, and the willows are lined on the banks..." The Peking Opera "Shajiabang" made Shajiabang Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area famous all over the world and became a household name.
Since then, Shajiabang, which has more than 4,000 acres of reed wetlands, has made full use of its rich revolutionary traditional education resources and unique natural resources to actively develop red tourism. At present, functional areas such as the revolutionary traditional education area, aquatic plant viewing area, red stone folk culture village, reed water and land maze, gourmet shopping area, and a number of scenic spots such as the bamboo forest path, the reed fragrance on the road, and the waves on the willow embankment have been built.
In the past few days, under the banner of "eating crab groups", the number of tourists who have traveled thousands of miles to taste, catch and buy crabs has increased day by day. According to shopkeepers, the hairy crabs from Shajiabang have white and crystal-clear crab meat that tastes like scallops, and the crab roe and gummy tongue make your mouth full of fragrance after eating. Although prices have increased this year due to climate effects, volume reduction, and rising breeding costs, the various cooking methods of steaming, stewing, stir-frying, and deep-frying, as well as the different flavors of hot, sour, salty, sweet, and numbing flavors, still make diners unable to help themselves. Come and try it out. Some diners even followed the crab farmers to cast nets in the lake to catch crabs and had a great time following the gourd and the gourd. The store owner predicts that by late September, Shajiabang will become a kingdom of crabs, with thousands of customers visiting every day.
According to his introduction, all the land in Shajiabang was restored based on the natural topography of the Jiangnan water town at that time, with gentle slopes connecting to the water and moving the earth. Sitting on the boat, there are lush reeds on both sides, some as tall as two people, and the clumps are intricate and the reeds are swaying in the wind. When the boat enters it, it is difficult to distinguish east, west, north and south, and it is like entering a maze. The rowing sound is slightly louder, and it will startle a group of herons, which is quite wild. After landing, be sure to sit at Chunlai Teahouse, order a pot of fragrant tea, and listen to the Peking Opera "Shajiabang". When the elders come here, they feel as if they have opened an old photo album and reminisce about the past; the younger ones hold their chins and listen with interest to the stories of battles of wits and courage in the prosperous years. Finally, everyone sat around the Eight Immortals table, drinking beer and tasting delicious hairy crabs. This kind of vacation is infinitely pleasant!
