Chinese pond turtle

　　The Chinese pond turtle is also known as the "Chinese longevity turtle." Every part of the Chinese pond turtle is valuable, making it a traditional and prized tonic. It offers various health benefits, such as nourishing yin, tonifying kidneys, and enriching blood. Yiyang County is home to the largest Chinese pond turtle breeding and farming base in China—the turtle farming base of Jiangxi Jin Gui Wang Industrial Co., Ltd.—which produces 200,000 kilograms of market-ready turtles annually. The products are sold across the country and exported to places such as South Korea and Japan.
