Seafood lovers, meet your new obsession! 🦀 This year, Jimunai Port in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region smashed records by importing over 100 million yuan (about $14.3M) of live king crabs.
Since last October, this exclusive gateway has been using its customs superpowers—priority arrival inspections and fast-track releases—to keep those Arctic giants fresh and Insta-worthy.
Fresh off the ship or chilling in temperature-controlled tanks, these crabs head to big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, making sure luxury seafood hits your plate at peak quality. ❄️🛳️
With sky-high demand for premium eats, Xinjiang is proving it's not just desert landscapes—it’s a key player in mainland China's seafood scene. Stay tuned for what's next in 2026! 📈
