Dongjiang Lake Salmon

Dongjiang Lake Salmon

　　Salmon, also known as chum salmon or scientifically Oncorhynchus, is the transliteration of the English word "salmon" and is one of the world’s premium fish species.

　　The Dongjiang Lake Salmon Farming Base was established in 2002 (with an annual output of over 500 tons), and the Salmon Gourmet City was founded in 2003. Both are situated by the picturesque Dongjiang Lake in Zixing, Chenzhou, Hunan. It is a great destination that combines farming, gourmet dining, and sightseeing tourism. The water quality of Dongjiang Lake is rated as Class I, and most remarkably, the water temperature remains around 10 degrees Celsius year-round. In summer, watermelons placed directly in the water are chilled even better than in a refrigerator—no fridge needed. Especially since the opening of the Wuhan–Guangzhou high-speed railway, the distance for tourists traveling between Hunan and Hubei for sightseeing and gourmet experiences has been greatly reduced. The freshly caught and prepared salmon is never frozen, ensuring its texture and nutritional value remain fully intact, delivering an exceptional taste. Our Gourmet City offers the most popular Japanese style of eating salmon—“sashimi.” By blending Western and Chinese culinary techniques, we’ve created the best “one fish, two ways, three styles” dishes. Our entire team sincerely invites tourists from all over the world to visit, tour, dine, and discuss business opportunities (including group meal receptions).
