🍲West Market Weishiyi Road Hutong—An amazing food court below a residential building. Bad food just won't survive here. 🥙Sandwich Pancakes: 📍Koukouxiangchuan Scallop Sandwich (outside the hutong, across from West Market on Baolijin Street): Lives up to its reputation! Incredibly delicious! I thought I'd imagine the flavor, but after one bite, I was pleasantly surprised! The pancakes are super crispy, pressed on a sizzling iron griddle. Aside from being a little small due to the slow serving, there's nothing wrong with them. 📍Duck Belly Pancakes: Filled to the brim, a great value! Not fishy at all, and very crispy, just a touch salty. 📍 Pocket Pancake: Crispy, generously sized, and fragrant. 📍 Konjac Roujiamo (open in the morning, fried chicken strips in the evening): Lots of varieties, but the konjac ones are special; they're fat-reducing and filling, though sometimes they're out. 📍 Multi-Grain Pancake (at the entrance): I love the ones with pork floss and never tire of them. (The vegetable pancakes are also very popular, so they must be good too.) —— 🍜 Noodles: 📍 Yifan Rice Noodles: Light in flavor, generous in ingredients, and a generous bowl, perfect for those with a light palate. 📍 Lele Fast Food Chicken and Mushroom Rice Noodles (outdoor stall at the entrance): Moderately flavorful, I love it! Plenty of ingredients. (I've had Zhang's fried rice noodles before, and they were a bit salty and had a strong MSG taste, so those with a strong palate might prefer them.) 📍 Tengyue Snack Shop (at the end of the alley, you can see them around the corner): The fried rice noodles are incredibly fragrant! It was a really good experience. 📍Power Plant Erban Noodles: Both the noodles and the braised dishes were delicious! They also serve pickles and garlic, and the portions are generous and affordable. 🍗Fried Food: 📍Xinlin Spicy Spicy Chuan (outside the alley, opposite Manku): A 20-year-old shop, the succulent fried chicken skin is my absolute favorite! The oil is pressed out during frying, so it's not greasy, and I'll want to eat it again the next day. 📍Ma Ji Fried Chuan: Highly recommend the specialty fried chicken rack! The flavor is unique, and there's a wide variety of fried skewers, but it can get a bit greasy if you eat too much. 📍Fried Chicken Strips (near Zhang's Fried Rice Noodles): Absolutely delicious! Cooked to perfection! Dusted with flour, it's incredibly fragrant. 🥬Cold Dishes: Super delicious with sesame sauce! The dishes are all very fresh, and they even have silkworm pupae in the seasoning section. Ask the owner to add them if you like. 🫘Desserts and Snacks: 📍Red Bean Milk Pastry: Fresh from the oven, warm and incredibly fragrant and crispy! The red bean and hawthorn varieties are both delicious! Very affordable. 📍Small BBQ sticky rice dumplings: Delicious! If you don't like sweet, I highly recommend the red bean and black rice varieties; they're incredibly sticky and fragrant! The qingtuan (green rice dumpling) is also incredibly fragrant. —— 💡Hutong Night Market (next to Shijiyuan): Word limit, please leave it in the comments section.
🌙 Linghe Night Market (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM) - The "Top" of Northeast China's Night Markets 🔥 Jinzhou BBQ Must-Orders: Lamb Skewers (Charcoal-Roasted), Grilled Scallops (10 RMB for 4, Rich in Garlic Flavor) Specialty: The local stall owner, who has passed down the charcoal grilling technique for three generations, pairs well with the Northeast-exclusive "Big White Pear Soda" to relieve the greasiness. 🦑 Grilled Squid & Spicy Stir-fried Clams Highlights: The squid is tender and fragrant with soy sauce, while the clams are fresh and spicy, showcasing the local flavor of Bohai Bay seafood. 🌶️ Secret Bamboo Tips (Intangible Cultural Heritage Snack) Taste: The dried bean shoots are chewy and springy, coated in spicy red oil and cilantro, with a vegetal aroma and a bean fragrance. The stall often sells out early. 🥟 Thumb-Head Pan-Fried Buns & Shredded Crab Roe Crispy Chicken Hot-selling item: Pan-Fried buns with thin wrappers and generous fillings, crispy crispy chicken and crab roe, perfect for photo ops. 🍢 Pork Intestines Wrapped in Scallions & Kimchi Stinky Tofu For a stronger flavor: Crispy pork intestines wrapped in a whole scallion, drizzled with sauce and sprinkled with seasoning; white stinky tofu with sweet and sour kimchi, a generous portion. ☀️ Shiqiaozi Morning Market (5:00-9:30 AM) – The vibrant atmosphere of Asia's largest morning market 🥮 Fried Jujubes (A Dark Cuisine Light) Taste: Red dates coated in batter and deep-fried, crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside, like a jujube cake. Enjoy hot or cold (12 yuan per pound). 🫓 One-Yuan Roujia & Cornbread Best value: Roujia has a crispy wrapper and a rich, flavorful pork filling (1.5 yuan); the cornbread is simple and chewy (0.8 yuan), perfect with pickles. 🌯 Vegetarian Pancakes Local Classic: Thin pancakes wrapped with shredded potatoes or eggs, basted with sauce and fried until crispy and springy (choose from 6 dishes). 🍖 Harbin Pork Ribs and Red Sausage A Must-Try for Meat Lovers: Pork rib-flavored sausages mixed with starch, savory and fragrant (23 yuan/stick). 🥟 Fried Cakes & Shrimp Dumplings Carb Feast: Fried cakes with red bean paste or sugar filling are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; the summer-exclusive shrimp dumplings are fresh and sweet. 📍 Practical Tips Linghe Night Market: Weekends are crowded, so it's best to go on weekdays; bring cash (some stalls only accept cash); wear comfortable shoes (the entire market is 1.5 kilometers long). Shiqiaozi Morning Market Tips: Arrive before 6:00 AM to avoid the crowds, as stalls close after 8:30 PM. For sour plum soup, choose "Zhangjia" (no blending). Transportation: Parking is difficult at both locations, so taking a taxi is recommended (starting at 6 yuan). The entrance to Linghe Night Market is on Central Street, and the Shiqiaozi Morning Market navigation is "Shiqiaozi Store." 💡 Flavor Comparison: The night market's innovative fusion (national snacks and internet-famous dishes) vs. the traditional, solid morning market (carb-heavy dishes and great value)—we recommend leaving 2 hours for each, so you can savor the Jinzhou fireworks from dawn to late at night! #ThePlacesMostCommentedOn WeChat #SonglikeJourney #LocalFood #HaveFunWithFriends #LocalFood
When is the best time to visit Zhangjiajie? October and November are definitely the best time of year. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold, the crowds are fewer, and there's no need to queue anywhere. Best of all, transportation and accommodations are half the price, 10,000 yuan less. Here's a suggested itinerary: On the first day, upon arrival in Zhangjiajie, I'll pick you up and check you into a hotel in the city. That evening, we'll take a bus to the West 12th and 17th floors, enjoy local snacks, and visit the Tujia-style Potala Palace. On the second day, we'll depart from the Forest Park's East Gate. I'll reserve your tickets in advance and use the fast lane to save time. The Bailong Elevator takes you directly to Xu Jingdi and Yuanjiajie, the floating mountains of Avatar. Then, we'll take the bus to the Xihai Stone Forest on Tianzi Mountain, where three thousand peaks rise only to the sky. In the afternoon, we'll explore the Stone Gallery by car, viewing natural wonders like the Three Sisters, the Herb Collectors, and more. Don't worry about getting tired; I'll arrange transportation for you wherever there are steps underground. On day three, we slept until we woke naturally, then headed to Jinbian Creek. The water was crystal clear, and we watched the wind and forests, dyed in spring, take in the breathtaking scenery. We took the cable car to the summit of Huangshizhai, where the rolling hills offer breathtaking views. It was a relaxing and comfortable experience, perfect for the whole family to enjoy the autumn scenery together. On day four, we tackled Tianmen Mountain, taking the 7,455-meter cable car to the summit. We walked the Boli Plank Road, strolled along the ancient plank road, visited the Love Bridge, and finally reached Tianmen Cave, where we were guided to unlock photographers' spots. Afterwards, we passed through Furong Town, admiring the ancient town nestled on a waterfall, before arriving at Fenghuang Ancient Town. At night, we ascended Nanhua Bridge to admire the dazzling lights of the stilt houses lining the Tuojiang River. We took a group photo shoot at a nursery by the river, then stayed in a guesthouse in the ancient city, listening to the river usher in the New Year. On day five, we strolled the ancient city's bluestone streets and sailed the Tuojiang River aboard a Yaolu boat, experiencing the romance of Yao in the north and Fenghuang in the south, concluding this dreamlike journey to this ancient city. This perfect five days will allow you to explore Jinhua's scenic spots, stay at hotels in Zhuxing District, say goodbye to traditional group meals, and enjoy Tujia rice, xiaguobo (a type of rice with a broth of broth), spinach, and Miaojia agriculture. There's no secondary consumption throughout the trip. Meals, accommodations, tickets, cable cars, and store prices are all included, and it only takes a little over 1,000 meters. No need to wait patiently, get tired, and, oh, there's also the service and explanation of a local guide. When are you planning to leave? I'm Awei, a tour guide at the scenic area.
