Since the opening of the East Clam Tourism Project in 1980s, the name of the clam has become famous all over the world, not only in hotels and restaurants, but also in the songs of western poets. Not long ago, a song "Walking on a clam in Rudong" published by Nantah Daily was written by a foreign teacher. As the saying goes, the benevolent enjoys Leshan, while the wise enjoys water. The clams written by foreigners also have a taste:

Rudong's clam,

As for China's Chinese characters,

Every shell is different,

Thousands of China's calligraphy are printed.

The signature on the clam shell

Like waves on the sea and ripples on the beach,

The appearance of meteors and lightning.

On a flat beach a mile offshore,

We began to look for clams hidden in the soil.

I stepped on the quicksand hard,

With the loosening of soil,

The clam climbed out of the water.

I caught a man who was eager to escape.

Meretrix meretrix with beautiful fingerprints,

A unique life that is about to become a delicious food.

"It's delicious," people around me in China told me.

Sand can also be used as a beauty mask.

We went back to the shore by tractor,

To avoid being swallowed up by the tide.

After lunch, the sea rose by six feet.

In addition to roaring dragons and unrestrained storms,

There's no sign of marine life.

Fishermen say that some people who are not familiar with the sea

Lost his life here.

Soon I will go home by boat along the Yangtze River.

I ate it in my pocket.

A symbol of marine life.

The heart is full of moist soil,

The delicacy of the sole, the caress of the sand,

The dragon's breath, the roar of the waves.

The original poem was written by American teacher Dr Joanna Williams in English.

There is also a composition about Meretrix meretrix.
