Suqian was once best known as playing an important role in China’s infamous drinking culture, being a centre for the production of “baijiu”. Today, however, that image is being shed in favour of something altogether more healthy, as manifest in places such as Luoma Lake.

宿迁曾经以在中国臭名昭著的饮酒文化中发挥着重要作用而闻名,是“白酒”的生产中心。 然而,今天,這種形象正在被拋棄,以利於更健康的東西,正如在Luoma湖等地方所表明的那樣。

Connecting with the Grand Canal, Luoma Lake is one of the four major freshwater lakes in Jiangsu. At 375 square kilometres in area, the Lake resembles the back of a big horse, together with its tail which sweeps further north to Xuzhou City.

洛马湖与大运河相连,是江苏四大淡水湖之一。 面积为375平方公里的湖,像一匹大马的背,它的尾巴向北扫到徐州市。

Formed tectonically, Luoma Lake became enlarged as the course of Yellow River merged temporarily with those of the Si and Huai rivers sometime between the Song and Qing dynasties. Flooding brought mineral-rich sediment into the lake that now gives rise to the abundance of local aquatic products.

洛马湖以构造形式形成,随着黄河的河道在宋朝和清朝之间的某个时候与西河和淮河的河道暂时合并而扩大。 洪水将富含矿物质的沉积物带入湖中,现在产生了丰富的当地水产品。

Among these, freshwater crab, shrimp, whitebait and lobster are the best. 

其中,淡水蟹、虾、白饵和龙虾是最好的。

Luoma Lake whitebait is white and transparent like jade; it has been widely distributed to elsewhere in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The Lake’s freshwater shrimp is green and plump, making it famous far and wide, while local crabs are huge; the males with white fat, the females golden.

洛马湖白饵像玉石一样白而透明;它已广泛分布在亚洲、欧洲和美洲的其他地方。 湖中的淡水虾又绿又丰满,使它广为人知,而当地的螃蟹很大;雄性有白色脂肪,雌性是金色的。

Somewhat of a local celebrity, Luoma Lake crab was also named as the “Overlord Crab” in 2019, in reference to Xiang Yu*, known as “Overlord of Western Chu”. Xiang was the Hegemon-King of Western Chu during the Chu–Han Contention Period, between 206 and 202 BCE. Born in Suqian, he became a prominent warlord, so much so that he is found in the book of woodcut prints, “Table of Peerless Heroes” by Jin Guliang.

作为当地名人,罗马湖蟹在2019年也被命名为“霸主蟹”,指的是被称为“西楚霸主”的湘宇*。 在公元前206年至202年的楚漢爭端時期,湘是西楚的霸王。 他出生于宿迁,成为一名杰出的军阀,以至于在金谷亮的木刻版画《无与伦比的英雄之表》中可以找到他。

First printed in 1694, the book contains biographies and imagined portraits for 40 of China’s notable heroes from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty.

这本书首次印刷于1694年,收录了从汉朝到宋朝的40位中国著名英雄的传记和想象肖像。

Crabs aside and away from the dining table, foreign visitors shall be drawn to the International Yacht Wharf, with a huge range of attractions therein. 

螃蟹在餐桌旁和餐桌之外,外国游客将被吸引到国际游艇码头,那里有各种各样的景点。

Tourists come to experience the thrill of sailing clippers and braving aquatic parachutes, or to enjoy the more sedate fun of diving and swimming among the fish.

游客来体验帆船快船和勇敢的水上降落伞的刺激,或者享受在鱼群中潜水和游泳的更安静的乐趣。

As the sun goes down, some choose to watch the sunset while fishing. Others take to the high-end hotels nearby, many of which offering rooms that provide guests with a panoramic view of the vista that is today’s Luoma Lake, awaiting you.

当太阳落山时,有些人选择边钓鱼边看日落。 其他人前往附近的高端酒店,其中许多酒店提供的客房,为客人提供今天的罗马湖全景,等待着您。
