Mada Lake: The scenic spot is located between Qifeng Town in the northeast of Huantai County, Zibo City and Hubin Town in the south of Boxing. This area is low-lying. The Xiaofu River, Wu River, and Zhulong River that meander from the Boshan area converge here to form a natural lake. It was listed as a provincial scenic spot in 1995 and a provincial ecological function demonstration area and a national wetland reserve in 2002. Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after Duke Huan of Qi came to hegemony, he gathered all the princes from allied countries in Qifeng Town. The princes were afraid of falling into a trap and led their armies to swarm in. A large number of war horses trampled the place into a lake, so it was called Ma Tread Lake. White lotus root, one of the most abundant products in Mata Lake, is characterized by the fact that the lotus root melon has 9 larger round holes, with the central round hole as the center and the other 8 round holes evenly arranged around it. The texture of mature white lotus root is delicate, round and smooth like mutton fat white jade. It is sweet, crisp and refreshing when eaten raw, and rich in nutrients when eaten cooked. New lotus roots are harvested in mid-July every year. The young lotus roots are as white as jade, as tender and sweet as crisp. The freshest way to eat them is to wash the fresh lotus roots, wrap them in tender lotus leaves and crush them. Then mix them directly with sugar. It is so refreshing and satisfying to eat. The ice-cold Madahu is also a famous dish in the local area, but it is only available for a short period of time. Mature white lotus root has high starch and protein content, and is rich in sugar, fat, vitamins and other ingredients. It is very nutritious. The easiest way to eat Ma Tahu is to clean it, crush it, spread it on ice, sprinkle it with sugar and mix it. I added color to make it not only delicious, but also more beautiful.
