Hanchuan Quail

　　Quail meat is delicious and nutritious, and quail preserved eggs are a great choice for eating or as gifts.

　　The quail farming industry is a pillar of the economy in Dingji (now part of Makou Town), Hanchuan City. This industry began here in 1989 and has since developed a number of large-scale farms and specialized villages. Currently, the annual quail population raised here exceeds 200,000, with 60% of households in Guangming, Miaowan, and Dingji villages engaged in quail farming, earning the area the reputation of "Hubei’s Number One Quail Township."
