Dongshan Lamb (Simplified Chinese: 东山羊; Traditional Chinese: 東山羊; Pinyin: Dōngshān yáng) is goat (or mutton) from the Dongshan area of Wanning, Hainan, prepared stewed, roasted, or braised—often with coconut milk—and counted among Hainan's four famous dishes with Jiaji Duck, Hele Crab, and Wenchang Chicken.
