Suqian was once best known as playing an important role in Chinaโs infamous drinking culture, being a centre for the production of โbaijiuโ. Today, however, that image is being shed in favour of something altogether more healthy, as manifest in places such as Luoma Lake.

Connecting with the Grand Canal, Luoma Lake is one of the four major freshwater lakes in Jiangsu. At 375 square kilometres in area, the Lake resembles the back of a big horse, together with its tail which sweeps further north to Xuzhou City.

Formed tectonically, Luoma Lake became enlarged as the course of Yellow River merged temporarily with those of the Si and Huai rivers sometime between the Song and Qing dynasties. Flooding brought mineral-rich sediment into the lake that now gives rise to the abundance of local aquatic products.

Among these, freshwater crab, shrimp, whitebait and lobster are the best.

Luoma Lake whitebait is white and transparent like jade; it has been widely distributed to elsewhere in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The Lakeโs freshwater shrimp is green and plump, making it famous far and wide, while local crabs are huge; the males with white fat, the females golden.

Somewhat of a local celebrity, Luoma Lake crab was also named as the โOverlord Crabโ in 2019, in reference to Xiang Yu*, known as โOverlord of Western Chuโ. Xiang was the Hegemon-King of Western Chu during the ChuโHan Contention Period, between 206 and 202 BCE. Born in Suqian, he became a prominent warlord, so much so that he is found in the book of woodcut prints, โTable of Peerless Heroesโ by Jin Guliang.
