Ziyang Street is a historical old street reflecting the local area of Taizhou Linhai. It is full of fireworks and simple historical heritage. The so-called left-hand book rolls. The right-hand fireworks can be seen and tasted. The local snacks can cure everything. It is worthwhile to make an appointment with family or Honey, go.
I feel that this attraction has been occupied by tourists. The antique streets and bluestones and Wuzhen and Xitang seem to not have much different specialties. There are more snacks, and there seem to be no special souvenirs. It's really very lively.
The street that Linhai must visit to play is well repaired. The small vendors along the street are also more homogeneous. They are all a few seaside snacks. Just choose one. There is no need to queue up for a lot of people. The net red seaweed cakes, eating two tastes really similar, of course, the freshly baked ones are better. The egg whites and sheep's tail are full of flavor, and there are fillings inside. It is too oily and too greasy. Eat one and stand up to several entrances in the ancient city that can climb the Great Wall. Don't miss the East Lake after the Great Wall
How can you miss the ancient street of Ziyang, which is a seaside food gathering place? 1⃣️ seaweed cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 There are two more famous seaweed cakes in the ancient street. Wang Tianshun and Jiujiu. The battles in line during the National Day are very scary. The kind that starts in two or three hours. I don’t think it’s necessary to choose other homes that are not so long in line. The freshly made seaweed cakes are now the most delicious. 2r/ A tube of 5 starts to buy the bran skin crispy to the slag. The addition of white sesame is simply fragrant. The seaweed filling is salty and sweet. It is better than expected. 😋 2⃣️ Wufan Maxi 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The most famous thing is that Chen Ji's queue is still very powerful. I chose a family at will. The taste should be big. Not bad 10-15r/box is steamed with wu rice leaf juice mixed with glutinous rice noodles. Wrapped with bean paste 🫘 or black sesame stuffing rolled into rolls. Outside is pine pollen. Sweet squash mixed with grass leaves. No head can say no! 3⃣️ Egg white sheep tail 🌟🌟🌟 is snow coat bean paste changed the name of the egg white sent by the bean paste wrapped in bean paste and fried to soaked golden bean paste. There is no imagined sweetness. Eat one just right. If you eat too much, it will be greasy. 4⃣️ plum cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The most famous is the different skin of Aunt Wang plum cake and Jiangsu. Because of the layer of brown sugar, there is an extra crispy sweet, and the inside is a soft inner core. The happiness explosion is 🥰 Bean paste yyds! 5⃣️ Rongjia Snack 🌟🌟🌟 Xinrongji series of snack bars tastes like a lot of authentic. The store almost includes all Linhai famous snacks flat food, ginger juice egg, dregs, wheat cakes ... wheat cake step on thunder 💣 flat food, dregs taste general, but you can taste a fresh ginger juice egg 🥚 I dare not dare Try the best of the whole scene is sweet and sour Ridge! It is a table-shaming dining environment and the speed of serving. I can't compliment 6⃣️ Grass paste 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Grass paste frozen QQ shells made of grass for materials. Similar to fairy grass, water has a mint smell, ice and cold taste, and the heat dissipates instantly. 7⃣️ 18RESERVA ROASTERY🌟🌟🌟🌟 Landmark coffee near the sea can make a card and rest by the way. Foot coffee-free matcha latte recommended 👍 There is also a creative black rice hemp thousand layers, the price is also very outrageous

The food along Ziyang Street is indescribable, reflecting the cultural heritage and simple streets of Linhai. Ziyang Street is different from the so-called ancient town and ancient street caused by large-scale artificial labor. It is a re-emergence of the city life with a strong smell of fireworks, so the place for cultural relics protection. I heard that the area of Ziyang Street in the past was still large, and Ziyang Street and the Jiangnan Great Wall snuggle together, forming the beautiful scenery of Linhaifu City. The food seaweed cake on the street is good and worthy of praise.
