Qianjiang Ecology Lobster City

Qianjiang City is known as the "Hometown of Crayfish in China". It is said that the best place to see Chinese crayfish is Hubei, and the best place to see Hubei crayfish is Qianjiang. The whole street here is indeed full of crayfish restaurants, which is very unique.
