The second crayfish festival opened last weekend in Huanghua town, Changsha county, with richer activities than last year.

Besides cooking and savoring crayfish-themed food together, visitors can also participate in a crayfish fishing competition, treasure hunting and interesting games in the daytime. At night, they can have a barbecue, watch a film and camp on the open grounds.

With its waters and farms cultivating abundant agricultural and aquatic products, Huanghua town is a top choice for urban residents to enjoy idyllic weekends together.

The crayfish festival helps to increase rural incomes and promotes the ecology-related leisure industry in Huanghua town, said a town official.
