The Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday where the family gathers together, but for fishermen living around Yangcheng Lake, it's also the start of the year's harvest.
The harvesting of Chinese mitten crabs (eriocheir sinensis) in Yangcheng Lake in Baicheng Town of Kunshan, East China's Jiangsu province begins on Sept 21 with a ceremony.
From that date till the end of December, fresh plump goldenclaw crabs are delivered to dinning tables all over China.
