Discover the delicious reasons why China goes crazy for these crabs every fall!  We’ll head to Old Town to sample xiefen xiaolongbao (crab roe soup dumplings) and whole hairy crabs as well as other crab dishes and local specialties.  We will wash it all down with a tasting of huangjiu -- China’s answer to brandy – which Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors and sommeliers both agree pairs perfectly with hairy crab.

Eating a hairy crab requires special knowledge – you can’t just crack into these delicacies willy nilly!  We will learn the secrets to eating crab – from which parts to avoid to how to get the most meat out of the shell. This tour also includes a recipe for you to try at home.
