The lively bazaar also kicked off the prelude to this eel culture-themed activity in Nimhai Village. As the "Chinese Eel Village", Nimhai Village has carried out activities such as "fish" reading and sharing sessions and "fish" cultural tours, so that citizens and tourists can "eel" swim in Nimhai, further experience the rural new look of Nimhai Village, and show the phased achievements of the "Millions of Thousands Project" and urban and rural quality improvement.

Since the 80s of the last century, Nimhai Village has vigorously developed the eel breeding industry, and later gradually explored the method of excavating mud pond farming, thus becoming one of the largest eel breeding bases in Guangdong. The long history of the development of the eel farming industry has gradually derived a unique Nim Sea eel culture, and many eel farming stories and the eel spirit of eel farmers have been gradually excavated.
"We hope that through this project, more villagers can be encouraged to participate and enhance their sense of identity and cultural confidence in the rural culture of Nimhai." Zhou Jianpeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nimhai Village, said that in the future, he will continue to explore the cultural tourism planning of "eel life" for water town leisure, starting from the characteristics of eel, and form a comprehensive cultural and tourism industry integrating eel farming, cultural tourism and ecological leisure to drive rural development.

Talking about his story with eels, Liang Kaitong, a 13-year-old cultural guide of Nim Sea eel, told reporters about the story of his childhood, "When I was a child, I followed my grandparents to the eel pond to feed the fish, and I saw many eels eating feed together, and I ate it quickly, and I thought this scene was very interesting." "The eels are fatty, slippery, and fun."
