"Catch crabs in rice fields, catch shrimps, and loaches, as well as sculptures scattered in the fields, artistic rice field paintings, colorful rice fishing, happy vegetable gardens, crab pet parks, small crab coffee, rice field trains, childhood threshing farms, etc., can let adults and children visiting here get close to nature and release their nature." Zhu Mei, a Taihu Performing Arts Workshop, introduced that the rice crab art farm located in the Taihu Performing Arts Workshop restores the history of rice crab farming in Taihu in the 1980s, and reproduces the agricultural scene of rice crab farming in Taihu Town 20 years ago. "The crab pet park on the farm contains small animals such as alpacas, peacocks, big geese, rabbits, reed chickens, etc. Here citizens can experience the fun of raising small animals. After tiring, they can also take the rice field train to experience the fantasy journey like a Miyazaki Hayao animation scene. Stop at the crab coffee and rest. While savoring coffee, enjoy the pastoral scenery."
Zhu Mei introduced that the Taihu area began to introduce rice from the Haidian area in the west of Beijing very early. In the 1980s, Taihu rice began to transform from traditional dry fields to paddy fields in large areas, gradually forming an agricultural farming model of "two rice and wheat crops, water and dry crop rotation". Starting from the 1990s, crabs were raised in rice fields that "rice and crabs coexist". Rice seedlings can shield crabs from sunlight, while crabs catch pests in rice fields. The feces can also fatten the fields and promote rice growth. In November 2021, Taihu Town followed the historical tradition of growing rice for decades in the region and planned to build a rice crab art farm project that integrates agriculture, culture and tourism. Based on agricultural production, the farm realizes landscape creation of field agriculture, thereby enhancing the multiple benefits of the traditional rice field crab farming model, and achieving "one field, two-use harvest, one water, and win-win growth."
The "Rice Crab Art Farm" that has just been open has been ready to welcome guests on the "National Day".
