　　Distinctive Quality

　　　　The finest Donggang rice comes from Liulin. Liulin rice is grown along the banks of the Liulin River, originally located at [Zhongliu] on the Liulin River. Its upstream source, the Tiejia Reservoir, is the sole drinking water supply for Donggang City, free from industrial pollution. The downstream area is fed by a mixture of Yalu River water and seawater, forming the nurturing base for Liulin rice. The rice produced here is snow-white, clear, fragrant, palatable, and has a delicate texture, making it one of the finest choices among Chinese rice varieties.
