Some netizens asked how to bring seafood on public transport.

When it comes to the origin of swimming crabs, Cangnan County in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, is the place to be, and Yanting Town under its jurisdiction is known as the "Hometown of Swimming Crabs in China".

Cangnan County is located at the southern tip of Zhejiang Province, where freshwater from rivers and seawater from the East China Sea meet, and warm and cold ocean currents blend together. The seabed is rich in food and the water quality is excellent, making it a natural breeding and habitat treasure for swimming crabs.

Thanks to its outstanding quality, the swimming crab firmly holds its place among the top seafood in the local market. The crab has a standard spindle shape, a bright green shell, a clean white belly, and strong, firm claws that exude vitality. Once the hard shell is removed, the crab meat is plump, tender, sweet, and without any fishy smell, while the roe is rich and flavorful—a unique and limited-edition delicacy for autumn.

Starting in August each year, swimming crabs officially enter their peak season, and many food lovers take the high-speed rail to Cangnan to enjoy the coastal scenery and local seafood.

On their return journey, people always bring several boxes of well-packaged swimming crabs to share this seafood delicacy with their relatives and friends.

The fastest train journey from Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other cities to Cangnan Station takes only 1 hour and 30 minutes, 2 hours and 22 minutes and 3 hours and 23 minutes respectively.

To facilitate passengers carrying seasonal seafood, Cangnan Station has upgraded its services. Packing supplies such as tape and rope are available at the passenger service counter and security checkpoint; passengers in need can request them from on-site staff at any time.

The fishing season has begun, and the crabs are at their fattest.

Friends, hurry and hop on the high-speed train!

Enjoy the fresh, sweet, and plump swimming crabs!
