Shuiqian Oysters

Shuiqian Oysters

　　“Shuiqian Oysters” — The village of Shuiqian in Chengdong Town is located in the Wukeng Inner Harbor of Lufeng. Fed by the freshwater of the Bawei River upstream and the seawater of Wukeng’s South China Sea downstream, the changing tides create a brackish water environment ideal for oyster growth. Shuiqian oysters are about the size of a child’s fist, plump, tender, delicious, and highly nutritious. They can be used in cooking or processed and dried into oyster jerky for use as an ingredient in traditional medicine, making them a well-known local specialty.
