Crawfish from Hubei province are on their way to Moscow on the China-Europe freight train, taking one of China's favorite dishes to spice up the 2018 FIFA World Cup soccer championships.
The freight train, which carried 100,000 crawfish, departed on May 31 from Wuhan and is expected to arrive in Moscow in about 17 days, when World Cup matchups are still engaged in fierce battles.
After arrival, the crawfish will be sent to restaurants and bars in Moscow for soccer fans from around the world in Russia's capital for the games.
