Zouwei Fish

Zouwei Fish

　　Zouwei Town in Binyang County is located in the karst terrain area of northern Binyang. The Qingshui River, which originates from the Daming Mountains, meanders through the region. The area boasts beautiful landscapes with striking mountains, serene caves, and crystal-clear waters that captivate visitors. Restaurants and eateries near the Qingshui River are famous for their fish dishes and are commonly known as "fish restaurants." Both travelers and merchants visiting Binyang regard tasting "Zouwei Fish" as a delightful experience. But what attracts people the most is the catfish from the Qingshui River.

　　The catfish from the Qingshui River are plump and delicious. When expertly prepared by skilled chefs, they are a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste—making them simply irresistible. It’s no wonder that in the 1990s, this small town with a permanent population of fewer than 7,000 had over thirty fish restaurants, often filled to capacity. Many diners have said: the catfish from the Qingshui River has tender meat and a fresh flavor.

　　Many diners make special trips from cities like Nanning and Liuzhou just to try the "Qingshui River Catfish." After visiting Baxianyan (Eight Immortals Rock), praying at the Goddess Temple, and taking a boat ride to enjoy the picturesque scenery along both banks of the Qingshui River (or even swimming in the river to experience its charm firsthand), the most common remark is still: "The mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, and the fish are even better!"
