Product Introduction: Yuhang is one of the major production areas of Hu sheep in China. Linping Red-Braised Lamb has long enjoyed an excellent reputation and boasts a history of over 800 years.

It also offers the benefits of nourishing, yang-invigorating, and cold resistance.

Product History: The Hu sheep is a unique white lamb-skin breed exclusive to China, found only in the Hangjiahu area. Historical records indicate that the Hu sheep have a breeding history of more than 800 years. In the early 10th century AD, when the Southern Song Dynasty moved its capital to Lin’an (now Hangzhou), a large number of residents from the Yellow River basin migrated southward, bringing with them the Mongolian sheep they raised in the north to the Taihu Lake basin at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for breeding. Thanks to the naturally superior conditions of the Taihu region — lush mulberry, green beans, clean water, and abundant grass — combined with continuous selective breeding and improvement by local farmers, an excellent lamb-skin breed gradually emerged: the Hu sheep, well adapted to the local environment. In recent years, two products have been developed: the vacuum-packed "Linping Brand" red-braised lamb and the boxed "Songdu Brand" red-braised lamb, both of which have been widely loved and are in high demand.
