"Eat less, eat more" is particularly practical in Changsha for one reason - if you eat without reservation during dinner time, then the variety of snack streets will definitely make you regret it. These snack streets usually reach their peak at midnight and close at three or four in the morning. The overall taste is heavy and hygiene is not guaranteed. Don't overeat late at night. When you satisfy your cravings, remember to take good care of your stomach and intestines.

The most famous snack street is undoubtedly Pozi Street. This old street has a history of hundreds of years and is undoubtedly the birthplace of Changsha’s commercial civilization. During the Republic of China, there were many shops. Today, the T-shaped area formed by it and Sanwang Street is home to well-known time-honored brands in Changsha: Yang Yuxing, which specializes in noodles, Xiangqun Guo Dumplings, which are large and meaty, and Shuangyanlou, which specializes in wontons.

Of course, there is also the snack distribution center Fire Palace. Taiping Old Street, not far from Pozi Street, is more popular among young people. It is bound to be crowded on weekends or holidays. Try the Old Changsha Sausage and East Melon. What's different about mountain sausage.

Go to Wen He You Lao Changsha Fried Fried Society and Hu Ji Fried Fried Society, who also make fried skewers, to compete with each other. At ten o'clock in the evening, after the shop closes, it is a different scene - —All kinds of small carts line the streets, making it a late-night snack fair.

I have to mention Donggua Mountain and Wenmiaoping, which are well known to the locals. The former includes the legendary local restaurant Dongguashan Sausage (original shop), which made its fortune by setting up stalls, as well as Dandan Hot Sauce, which specializes in hot stew (a freely assembled hot dish), and Xiangxi Small Skewers.
