Hairy crabs have a characteristic: they will lose their scales after a day away from the lake. The longer they leave the aquaculture waters, the more serious they lose their scales. Therefore, you still don't choose long-distance transportation and crabs kept in tanks.

You can book directly from Yangcheng Lake or Gucheng Lake in the southern waters where hairy crabs are produced, such as the Crab Palace in Yangcheng Lake and Xie Wang in Gucheng Lake. They all provide air transportation, and you can receive them the next day if you book them on the same day. It will be much fresher, larger and more affordable than what you buy locally in Gansu.
