On the 29th, a Yangcheng Lake hairy crab farmer said in an interview with the media that due to the continuous high temperature and drought weather for more than 40 days, the last time the hairy crabs were released from shelling will be postponed, and early September can try early. In this regard, some netizens said that this year's Mid -Autumn Festival will be a Mid -Autumn Festival without Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.

On the afternoon of the 30th, Mr. Shen, a staff member of a hairy crab farm in Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou, told Jimu Journalist that this year's hairy crabs could not be listed on the Mid -Autumn Festival, and it is expected to be in late September. Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are basically in late September every year. In addition, this year's temperature is high, and the maturity of hairy crabs will be slightly later. Even after opening the lake, it is only a small scale to go public. The large -scale listing is until mid -October, and it is the best crab tasting time during that time.

The staff of Jiangsu Yangcheng Lake Crab Co., Ltd. told Jimu Journalists that the Kaihu Festival of Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab this year is expected to be between September 22 or 23, and in previous years, it was also between September 20th and 25th. Because the temperature is high this year, the aquatic grass is easy to rot, and many factors have caused hairy crabs to molten late. This year's Mid -Autumn Festival is September 10th, earlier than the previous two years, so the Mid -Autumn Festival must not open the lake.

Jimu Journalist inquiries found that from 2017 to 2021, except for the Mid -Autumn Festival 2019 on September 13, other years after September 20, it was consistent with the date of the Yangcheng Lake Hammer Crab Festival.

The above -mentioned staff also stated that if the crab grows good, it may also open the lake in advance, but this year's crab is affected by high temperature weather, and the output will decrease by 5%to 10%compared with the same period last year. It is expected that the price this year will also rise. At present, reservations can be made. If you want to buy live crabs, you can only wait until the lake opened in late September.
