Kangyuan Yellow River Turtle Farm Inc.

Strange things one can find on Youtube: a music video about Kangyuan Yellow River Turtle Farm Inc. (镇平县康苑鳖业有限责任公司) in Jiasong Town, Zhenping County, Henan Province of China. The facility, one of the largest of its kind, is said to raise some 6 million Yellow River turtles (a variety of the Chinese softshell turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis) annually, and occupies 600 mu (100 acres) of land and water. I wish the guy who took the video had a better camera, though!

It is apparently here on Google Maps.

Seen on the stalls outside Muslim (apparently Uighur, rather than Hui) restaurants in Guangzhou (Guangdong) and Nanchang (Jiangxi). They sell for Y2 (about 30 cents), and tastes not too different from a good bagel. I suppose they are originally from Xinjiang - I wonder how they are properly called?
