As sales drop, store owners slash prices for legendary crustaceans
It's been a hard year for Wang Qiang, who has run a store in Beijing's Hepingli community for more than 10 years selling expensive crabs, including the renowned Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.
Wang sold more than 250 kg of high-priced crabs and earned about 50,000 yuan ($8,130) during last year's crab season, which traditionally runs from Mid-Autumn Festival to the following March or April.
