In the heart of China’s desert, a surprising sight is emerging as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches. In Xinjiang’s Kashi region, far from the coast, crawfish are making a splash in the local celebration.
These freshwater crustaceans have thrived in the arid landscape, thanks to their unique adaptation to the Yarkand River’s water source. The result is an explosion of vibrant colors and sizes that has left locals and visitors alike in awe.
The story began with a young aquaculture expert from Shandong Province, who dared to dream big about cultivating crawfish in this unforgiving environment. Today, the once-barren desert landscape has transformed into a thriving ecosystem, thanks to innovation and perseverance.
Located in Makit County, this desert oasis is now a beloved destination for those seeking an unconventional Mid-Autumn experience. Join the festivities and discover the magic of these desert dwellers!
