China Southern flies 3 tonnes of hairy crabs for Mid-Autumn Festival CHINA Southern Airlines has moved three tonnes of hairy crabs for the Mid-Autumn Festival in Guangzhou from Bangladesh and Thailand. The fishing season for hairy crabs, which are the most expensive and famous crabs in China, will begin on September 17, according to the Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crabs Association of Suzhou. The crabs are named for their furry claws and are native to eastern Asia. The southeast Asian crabs go into the market right before the hairy crabs do. As a traditional Southeast Asian cuisine, curry crab is frequently seen in Vietnamese restaurants in Guangzhou. In order to ensure the quality of crabs, China Southern Airlines provides them with foam boxes with small holes and separate transport. Meanwhile, the cargo division of China Southern Airlines has set up time limits for a quick operation; no more than 80 minutes passes from the crabs being uploaded at the airport to getting delivered to the harbour.
