If Suzhou attractions are rated based on their ability to gather visitors, well-known attractions such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lion Forest cannot easily come out on top. Far away from the city center, Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake, Yangshan Mountain and other places have the beautiful scenery of Xiushui Mingshan, which can attract tourists who are nostalgic for natural scenery, both of which have their own merits. However, in the environment of mountains and rivers, countless natural ingredients such as hairy crabs, anchovies, whitebait, and white shrimp have become the latter's weapons to attract customers, which also makes most of Suzhou's folk catering resources choose to gather here. In Jinting Town, Taihu Lake alone, there are more than 200 restaurants in operation, and the scale is self-evident.

Yangcheng Lake, located in the east of Suzhou and northwest of Kunshan, is famous for its hairy crabs. The crab shell here is green and gray, and the navel is crystal white; The crab legs are thin and straight; The crab claws are golden, firm and powerful, and can walk alone with eight legs when placed on the table, which is summarized by the locals as "green back, white belly, yellow hair, and golden claws", which is highly recognizable. In addition, the dissolved oxygen in the aquaculture waters is moderate and the organic matter is abundant, so that the amino acid content of crab meat far exceeds that of similar crab species, and the taste is fresh and sweet. Due to the limitation of production, the supply of hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake began to exceed demand as early as 2000, and the phenomenon of shoddy and fake began to appear. In 2011, CCTV reported on a large scale the market chaos of hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, which once made the image of hairy crabs fall to the bottom. Today, the popularity of hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake is no longer what it used to be, but the hairy crabs currently sold on the market are still difficult to distinguish between real and fake. Therefore, if you want to eat authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, you can also find the production area.

Completed in 2005, Repulse Bay Commercial Street is one of the dining places of Yangcheng Lake Peninsula Resort. Dozens of similar-looking restaurants line the lakeside, fighting for diners every holiday. Among them, the outstanding Pinxian Village Farmhouse has won the praise of a large number of tourists with its excellent food and meticulous service. The popularity and reputation are excellent.

Crab is the protagonist of Pinxian Village Farmhouse. The hairy crab with a full body is steamed in a pot tightly bundled, and the crab legs, tongs and crab roe are removed after being baked, and dipped in crab vinegar and rice wine. People who like crabs are not confined to steaming, and the preparation methods of noodle crab, fried rice cakes and spicy crab can also make the fat hairy crab taste to the fullest. The restaurant's noodle crab featuring the "June Yellow" male crab is the most delicious. This kind of crab slaughtered around the summer solstice, just after the third shelling, is known for its "thin shell, tender meat, and yellow many". When making, the crab is split in half and then cut with flour paste, fried in oil until it is set, simmered with cooking wine, edamame, ginger vinegar, and finally falls into the batter and crab pieces and mixes well to get out of the pot. The soft crab shell is covered with a creamy batter, and the fresh and crispy edamame is intertwined. Fried rice cake with hairy crab is a home-cooked dish on the table of Jiangnan people, the fried crab and rice cake, sugar, vinegar and dark soy sauce are boiled and stir-fried, and the product has the appearance of heavy sugar and rich color, the crab meat is delicious and tender, the rice cake is tough and glutinous and fragrant, and the taste is brilliant.

A simple dish of fried snails with sauce is a big dish that can be compared to hairy crabs here. The plump snails are smoldered with a rich roast sauce, and the diced chili peppers are used to enhance the freshness and spiciness, which is salty and spicy, and delicious. The white fish in the "Three Whites of Taihu Lake" is also quite popular here. The slender fish body is served on a plate in the shape of an open screen, and steamed with ginger, green onions, and soy sauce is put on it, and the classic Taihu Lake delicacy is presented. However, white fish is a freshwater fish with many fine bones in the body, so you need to pay more attention when eating. Other popular dishes include stir-fried shredded pork with reed root, scrambled eggs with whitebait, homemade black tofu, casserole chicken soup, and more.
