Autumn is the best season for eating crabs from Yangcheng Lake, as this is when they're at their most fertile. In this season, crabs are delicious, with the weather helping to nourish the marrow and clear heat inside the body.

The Caifenglou, a Chinese restaurant in the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, which is located in Shanghai Sheshan National Tourist Resort, is offering these delicacies.

Chefs at Caifenglou usually braise the crabs with niangao (glutinous rice cakes) or just simply steam them as this method preserves the authentic flavor of the ingredients.

In addition, crab meat is also made into various other delicious dishes with different ingredients, such as crab meat balls, crab meat and goose liver mousse, and crab meat and rice in clay pot.
