Hubei Daily News: The Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Commerce recently issued a notice, openly soliciting platforms from the public to distribute crayfish consumption vouchers for the “2026 Wuhan Crayfish Consumption Season.”

According to the notice, the distribution of crayfish consumption vouchers for the 2026 Wuhan Crayfish Consumption Season is expected to take place from May 1 to July 31, 2026. The vouchers will be issued in electronic form through selected platforms. Consumers in Wuhan (whose mobile satellite positioning is within the Wuhan area when collecting and using the vouchers) can collect them via mobile applications (APPs) on the platforms. The vouchers can be used to purchase online crayfish-related meal deals or gift vouchers and can be combined with platform and merchant (institution) discounts.

During last year’s May Day holiday, Wuhan hosted the first Crayfish Consumption Season. The event featured Sanyang Square as the main venue, linking up with the city’s crayfish brands, key enterprises, e-commerce platforms, commercial districts, shopping streets, scenic spots, and sports venues. Over 600 “Crayfish+” promotional activities created a city-wide consumption boom. Statistics show that during the holiday, more than 1 million citizens and tourists visited Sanyang Square at Hankou Riverside to enjoy crayfish, snacks, and shopping.

According to a Wuhan crayfish consumption report released by Meituan, Wuhan is undeniably the “Capital of Crayfish Consumption.” The city has over 800 branded crayfish restaurants, with nearly 20,000 restaurants offering crayfish dishes during the season. Approximately 10 million crayfish are consumed daily, with nearly 10 crayfish-related dining outlets distributed across each commercial district and crowded area. Meanwhile, Wuhan’s crayfish chain brands account for one-third of the national consumption scale, and among the top ten crayfish specialty stores nationwide in sales, four are located in Wuhan.

Sanyang Square

Sanyang Square is a historic public square located in Macau, China, named after the “Three Suns” (Sanyang) that once symbolized the city’s early trade with Portugal and other regions. Originally a marketplace and gathering spot during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it served as a bustling hub for merchants and locals. Today, the square is a cultural landmark, surrounded by colonial-era architecture and modern shops, reflecting Macau’s unique blend of Eastern and Western heritage.

Hankou Riverside

Hankou Riverside, located along the Yangtze River in Wuhan, China, is a historic waterfront area that flourished as a major port and commercial hub after the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, when Hankou became a treaty port. It features a blend of European-style colonial architecture from the 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting its past as an international trading center. Today, the revitalized riverside promenade offers scenic views, cultural landmarks, and leisure spaces, showcasing the city’s rich heritage and modern development.
