The first reason is that Kaifeng locals have eaten enough, so there is no need to eat all the time. There are ten famous night markets in Kaifeng, such as Laohe Daximen Night Market, Apple Orchard Night Market, Beidaomen Night Market, Wuyi Night Market, etc., the largest of which is Gulou Night Market. As a native of Kaifeng, he is no stranger to snacks, because he has been eating snacks since he was a child at his own doorstep. Besides, when foreigners go, it is also a holiday. On the contrary, locals just want to avoid family holidays.
The second reason is that many stall owners in night markets in Kaifeng are locals themselves. As far as I know, the price of night market stalls in Kaifeng is not low, especially in some good locations, which ordinary people can't buy. At the gates of various scenic spots, stall vendors are almost all locals, including people from all districts and counties. Therefore, it is natural for local people to want to eat, and there is no need to eat night markets with foreign tourists on holidays.
Since the development of the night market in Kaifeng Gulou, its value is not in the food itself, but in the symbols and signs of a city. Now many cities have strictly controlled the night market, but the night market in Kaifeng is still very lively, which is also a cultural symbol of a city. Therefore, many local people no longer focus on eating, but focus on cooking food and promoting snack culture.
Kaifeng rose nearly 31 years ago, when the whole people went to sea. At that time, night food stalls were everywhere. No matter inside or outside the city, you could find food stalls at any intersection. It lasted all night, rain or shine. At that time, you would have a drink along the way every time you got off the middle shift (12 midnight), which was very convenient.
In recent years, most of the stalls have been cancelled, leaving only five or six open-air night markets and several new food cities. As they are getting farther away from home, it is inconvenient to eat and travel, so they rarely patronize unless they are on the way. Therefore, old Kaifeng seldom eats night markets, not because it is expensive, but because it is inconvenient.
thirty years later, old habits die hard, summer nights are hard, and I often go to the nearby night market.
Kaifeng locals have their own habits of eating night markets, and everyone has their own food map. The price is only one factor, which is not dominant. The key is good taste. There may be only two or three stalls in a night market corresponding to our locals' delicious food. Kaifeng itself is not big. My friends and I often buy some delicious food in this night market and go to the next night market to find a satisfactory stall to eat together. Our night market owners in Kaifeng are more tolerant. However, it should be noted that the food you buy should be distinguished between the Hui and Han nationalities. Never take food taboo by other nationalities to eat at their own stalls, and respect the customs of other nationalities. If you want to have breakfast, you'll have to drill into hutongs and alleys. It's true that wine smells deep in our Kaifeng. So if you want to eat delicious food and experience the night market that hasn't closed since the Song Dynasty, I'm afraid you need to stay longer. Finally, thank you for watching me talk so much. Friends from all over the world will come to our Kaifeng. The Kaifeng people who are delicious, fun and enthusiastic welcome you.
I'm an indigenous Kaifeng native. I'm a picky eater in old Kaifeng. No matter how far away, as long as the taste is right, there's no problem. I don't care about Gaotang stores or hutong stalls. Even if I sit on a small stool, I can gorge on my favorite food and familiar taste. Old Kaifeng rarely goes to the Drum Tower when eating night markets. The Drum Tower Night Market is mainly aimed at foreign tourists. The main reason is that this place doesn't eat favorite food. It's more like the art palace of snacks, which belongs to the cultural category. It's like here belongs to the cultural propaganda unit, and what we want is the canteen. (Personally, don't like it, don't spray it.)
I personally live in the east of Kaifeng, and I prefer to go to the night market of Laodong Road or Bianjing Road and Songmen Night Market. It's close to home, so you can walk there at night, and you don't have to worry about drinking a little wine and not going home. It's more grounded and the food is here. This is my treasure of a Kaifeng native snack!
It's not that Kaifeng people don't eat, but they don't eat in the same place as tourists. Drum Tower and Xisi are no longer the taste of Kaifeng people. Like many places in the country, they are similar to food streets. The price is higher than what we usually eat, the taste is not what we like, and the atmosphere is different. As a person who has lived in Kaifeng for 31 years, we will eat night markets and drink beer in summer nights, but I will not go to Drum Tower, but generally. This problem should be universal! I'm from Zhengzhou. I've been to Kaifeng many times, and I know Kaifeng well. I'd like to share my views on night markets in each city, considering that local people in Kaifeng don't eat. All ancient capitals like to engage in night markets. Is the night market really the same as before?
Kaifeng is an ancient capital, Xi 'an is an ancient capital, and Nanjing is an ancient capital. The scenic spots in these places should all attract tourists with the view of night market. So what did the night markets in these ancient capitals do in ancient times? The answer to this question should be very clear, almost everyone can answer it, it is selling snacks; In fact, in ancient times, there were relatively many people living near these capitals. What we are talking about now is also true, but it is also a night food stall in ancient times. Now the night market is mainly snacks.
However, today's night markets are different from the previous ones. In ancient times, the means of transportation were relatively inconvenient, and fewer people would go out to travel. Therefore, the night markets near these ancient capitals are all local people's leisure at night, and the products they sell are also local snacks. But now the night market is different. The main customers are tourists. These tourists only go when they hear that there are local specialty snacks in this place.
But real locals should seldom sell snacks in the night market. On the contrary, there are more people who want to make money for tourists. Relatively speaking, the merchants and motives of this night market are different.
the night market is not the legendary night market. The specialties of all places are the same. Do the specialties really exist in tourism?
In fact, people who often travel will find a very interesting phenomenon, which also makes people laugh and cry.
this phenomenon will be felt by people who travel frequently, so if all the night markets you go to sell such things, how can local people eat them? There are no locals in the night market, and the specialty is not in the night market
This sentence should be universally applicable in the current tourism. Because the real night market has changed its taste long ago, there are no local people running it, no local people visiting it, and all of them are foreign tourists. This is the normal state.
It is not recommended to go to the so-called famous night market in Kaifeng here. My experience is that if you really want to find local characteristics in a city, you should go around residential areas and go to places frequented by local people, so that you can find them. As far as Kaifeng is concerned, there are actually many old Kaifeng snacks in the residential area near Daliangmen, which are very delicious.
hope to adopt! I hope I can help people in need.
I don't want to eat. I don't eat it on holidays. Xisi Drum Tower, the two most famous night markets in Kaifeng. It is also the favorite place for foreign customers. In all fairness, these two night markets have the most kinds of delicious food. But as an old Kaifeng person, I think it's a little expensive during the holidays. The quality has also declined. So the locals don't join in the fun at this time. But you are still welcome to eat Kaifeng night market. Just don't be too harsh. City reception capacity is limited
Kaifeng night market, haha, which one is delicious? The most famous Gulou night market, Kaifeng locals didn't eat it more than ten years ago. Occasionally, foreign friends will go around and have a taste. If you really eat and drink, you will definitely not eat the Drum Tower, and you will have to queue up if the price is high and the taste is poor!
Almost all the night markets we used to eat were castrated by civilized cities and sanitary cities. Wuyi night market has been banned. I haven't been to eat it, and I don't comment on it. In the past, Dongsimen night market, Xueyuanmen night market and Laodong Road night market were all very good, but now they are getting smaller and smaller, and the food is much less. Xisi night market is getting better and bigger, but now there are more and more foreign tourists, and it slowly feels a little different. At present, Kaifeng locals should go to Laodong Road Night Market and Dongjiao Night Market. Laoheda Night Market, Songmen Night Market and Sanlibao Night Market can also appeal to nearby residents. Some night markets organized by indoor commercial companies seem to be not operating very well. Locals rarely go there, as if there are not many tourists, and some have group guests, but the consumption of group guests is limited, and the taste is not evaluated.
I hope it will be helpful to friends who want to eat night markets in Kaifeng. Please ask Kaifeng friends to supplement the insufficient night markets. Finally, I sigh with emotion: what should I do if there is no night market in the future? Where should I go to eat?
My husband, a native of Kaifeng, once enthusiastically led me to a night market. Originally, I was full of empty space waiting for the night market to eat and drink, and I didn't want to breathe more air after shopping for a circle.
It seemed to be the May Day holiday, and we went early. We strolled into a small street next to Baogong Temple. When we entered it, it was a unique place, and the outside was ordinary. The inside was densely packed with trolleys ready to go out to the night market, and a frame of ingredients was filled with trolleys. For a period of time, it was magnificent and filed out from the side street. It was really spectacular. Walking all the way, watching and walking, I suddenly came to a toilet. Two large white boxes were filled with dressed Flammulina velutipes, potato chips and gluten, soaked in water, and placed neatly. A cat was lying on the side drinking the water in the box, and suddenly a person came out of the toilet. I put a bunch of worn strings in the frame again, and my heart suddenly turned upside down, and I quickly dragged my husband out. My husband told me that it didn't matter if he went.
I haven't eaten it before anyway, and I don't want to eat it in the future. Although I believe my husband is right, I won't go shopping. < P > Almost all the night markets I used to eat were castrated by civilized cities and sanitary cities.

After rectification and packaging, Kaifeng Night Market has become a special attraction for foreign tourists, not to mention that tourists feel that black locals will not eat it. A bunch of Mongolian famous snacks, small and messy, all appear in Kaifeng Night Market, but the traditional Kaifeng snacks are getting less and less. Like Wendeng Road night market in Qingdao, the mouth is full of authentic northeast ballast. Qingdao locals have long since left, and Kaifeng night market will be the same sooner or later, and it is notorious. To taste a city, you should feel it with your feet. Walking into the local people is full of grounded snacks.
You can think about Kaifeng. Local people who grew up in Kaifeng have eaten everything, just like people who grow fruit at home don't like it. That's because they eat too much, so they don't particularly like it. You can think about it here. If you eat delicious food every day, you will get tired of it, and naturally you won't eat it.
